Why this role exists: This role exists to maximize value and minimize friction across our spend categories. You’ll help us stretch our budgets and accelerate operations by taking end-to-end ownership of the procurement pipeline—from requirements to signed contracts and renewals. What you’ll drive: Commercial Strategy & Outcomes • Drive cost-saving and cost-avoidance initiatives through aggressive vendor negotiations, volume consolidation, and license optimization. • Continuously review active agreements to flag commercial risks, redundant tools, and renegotiation opportunities. • Track and report key spend metrics, realized savings, vendor performance, and contract renewal pipelines.

Execution & Delivery • Own the complete purchase lifecycle: vendor sourcing, commercial negotiations, contract routing, and execution. • Partner closely with Legal, Finance, and InfoSec to resolve contract bottlenecks and maintain policy compliance. • Manage tracking, subscription renewals, non-renewals, and administrative records across 1C ERP and Jira. Stakeholder & Vendor Management • Act as a trusted commercial advisor to internal teams, guiding them through procurement limits and approval workflows. • Build pragmatic vendor relationships, resolve operational/billing disputes, and escalate performance failures early. What makes you a GR8 fit: Must-have: • 4+ years of hands-on procurement experience managing indirect categories end-to-end. • Proven track record of independently negotiating favorable commercial terms, pricing, and SLA structures. • Experience running structured RFQ/RFP processes and conducting total-cost-of-ownership evaluations. • Strong working knowledge of 1C ERP systems, Jira, and advanced Google Sheets (formulas, data modeling). • Practical understanding of commercial contract terms and cross-functional sign-off workflows (Legal/InfoSec/Finance). • High agency and ability to prioritize dozens of active requests and tight deadline renewals simultaneously. • Upper-Intermediate English and fluent Ukrainian or Russian . Nice-to-have: • Degree in Business, Economics, or Supply Chain. • Experience negotiating SaaS, IT, or digital service contracts. • Background in optimizing procurement processes or automating manual purchasing steps.
