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.
