Senior IT Buyer - London

Your new company

You’ll be joining a well-established financial services organisation with a strong reputation for regulatory compliance and operational excellence. The firm operates in a highly regulated environment and offers a collaborative, structured culture where procurement plays a key role in managing third-party risk and delivering commercial value.


Your new role

As a Senior IT Buyer, you’ll lead procurement activities across IT and Soft Services categories, supporting the full lifecycle of third-party engagements—from selection and onboarding to performance management and renewal. You’ll act as a trusted advisor to stakeholders, lead RfX processes, negotiate contracts in collaboration with legal teams, and ensure alignment with third-party risk frameworks. You’ll also contribute to supplier relationship management, value optimisation initiatives, and continuous improvement of procurement practices.


What you'll need to succeed

You’ll bring solid experience in procurement project delivery, stakeholder engagement, and contract negotiation with Tier 1 providers. Strong analytical skills, commercial acumen, and proficiency in Excel (including pivot tables and charts) are essential. Experience in regulated industries and familiarity with soft services procurement are highly desirable. We are looking for a procurement professional with strong ambition for continuous development.


What you'll get in return

You’ll receive a competitive salary and benefits package, with opportunities to influence procurement strategy and contribute to high-impact initiatives. The working culture is structured and collaborative, with a focus on continuous improvement and professional development.
