Full job description

Serve as the commercial bridge between Finance and Legal teams. Aligning with corporate budgeting and forecasting needs, while also ensuring all third-party engagements are managed in parallel with the Legal function.
Manage end-to-end procurement activities including supplier relationships and contract performance, negotiating terms, monitoring KPls and promoting consistent, effective delivery.
Maintain robust procurement data, governance, and reporting, providing insights to leadership and ensuring transparency under regulatory frameworks.
