Interim Procurement Manager – Datacentre, Colocation, and Network Infrastructure

Your new company

This Category Manager vacancy has been created to help this financial services organisation deal with a high volume of procurement activities across data centre, co-location, and network infrastructure services. This role is initially for a 3-month period but could be extended to 6 months.
This client of ours is a well-known financial institution who spends over £2 billion annually with external suppliers, who aim to drive high performance and sustainable value through their supply chain.

Your new role

This role will primarily support the group function, focusing on data centre, colocation, and network infrastructure spend areas. You will support a truly global range of stakeholders spanning Europe, America, and Asia.
You will ensure delivery of key organisational processes and frameworks when it comes to sourcing as well as SRM. You will develop those key strategies, using data to inform these business decisions.

What you'll need to succeed

To succeed in this role, you will have prior experience within DC and networks procurement, with the ability to effectively engage with technology and business leaders, especially Datacentre Services Group, Infrastructure/ Network engineering, architecture, and IT operations. You will be commercially astute with knowledge of infrastructure hardware/software/service acquisition pricing models (e.g., subscription, perpetual, managed services and consumption-based).

What you'll get in return

Whilst this role is initially 3 months, there is a high likelihood this could be extended due to volume and workload. The role is inside scope of IR35 and on-site presence in London is 3x per week.
