The Vendor Management team enables the organisation to work effectively with its external technology and service partners, ensuring vendor engagements are supported by the right processes, governance, data and controls. As our technology portfolio and third-party ecosystem grow, enablement is an increasingly important part of our remit.
This role will sit within Vendor Management and work closely with Project Enablement, creating a bridge between project demand and the commercial activities required to enable delivery. With a particular focus on TPIP access approvals and licensing requests, the role will provide a central point of coordination across Vendor Management, Project Enablement, Procurement, Legal and wider business stakeholders.
The role will improve visibility and flow across the approval process, helping teams anticipate demand, prioritise effectively and remove bottlenecks that could impact project delivery.
Key responsibilities will include:
Maintain an accurate view of the request pipeline, including status, owners, dependencies, actions and target dates, providing clear updates and reporting to relevant stakeholders.
Coordinate approval requests across Vendor Management, Project Enablement, Procurement, Legal, Finance, Security and other stakeholders, proactively following up and escalating blockers where required.
Coordinate approvals and associated record keeping across new contracts, amendments, licence changes, renewals and other commercial requests.
Identify recurring bottlenecks, trends and opportunities to simplify, standardise and improve processes, working with Vendor Management and Project Enablement to implement improvements.
We are looking for someone who is highly organised, proactive and comfortable working across multiple teams to drive activity forward. Success in this role will come from strong coordination, attention to detail and the ability to create clarity and momentum across processes involving multiple stakeholders.
The successful candidate will have:
Experience in vendor management, technology procurement, software licensing, project coordination, commercial operations or contract administration.
