As a result of this, the procurement function has grown with it and is looking for talented IT procurement professionals to join the team to support the ever-growing demand for IT products and services to be supplied to its customers.

As an IT Strategic Sourcing Buyer for this organization, you will not simply be managing IT as a cost to the business, but instead as a direct commodity, directly influencing the profit margin and profitability of the company, being part of the core operations of the business with a much greater impact.

The IT Strategic Sourcing Buyer will have responsibility for:-

• End-To-End procurement negotiations for a variety of IT spend (Hardware, software, networks, telco) including sourcing, contract management, and bid support
• Building strong relationships with the sales team to ensure procurement is always involved in Bid Management process at an early stage
• Managing a high volume of suppliers across multiple IT spend categories totaling more than €30M in individual annual purchasing budget
• Providing subject matter expertise on IT procurement matters to internal stakeholders at all levels including executive leadership
• Creating rigorous and detailed spend analytics to report on procurement activities and show a clear understanding of the market

The position of IT Strategic Sourcing Buyer will place you on the front lines of the business, rather than acting as a support function to the organization. The role will require someone with a big personality and excellent stakeholder management skills to make themselves very visible within the organization and demonstrate their capacity to deliver added value.
