Hybrid

We believe that through collaboration and connection with our colleagues we can achieve great things. Our hybrid working approach allows our people to work both in the office and at home, providing the flexibility and resources you need to succeed in your role. We don't require you to be in on specific days; instead, we ask people to come into the office 2-3 days each week, for at least 8 days per month. You should work with your line manager to understand what their expectations are for you, your specific role and your team.

Who We Are

We’re here to build a network the UK can count on – one that connects people, places and potential. Because no matter where you live, what your background is, or how you get online – we think everyone deserves the same chance to stay connected, and with VodafoneThree, that future’s being built – today.

We’re creating more than the UK’s best network. We’re helping close the digital divide, empower communities and drive meaningful progress.

We believe that everyone should feel they belong. Whoever you are and whatever your story, there’s space for you here. We’re building a workplace where different perspectives are welcomed, voices are heard, and everyone feels safe to show up as themselves.

You’ll join a team that genuinely cares – about each other, about our customers, and about the future we’re building. From day one, you’ll be welcomed, valued and encouraged to bring your whole self to work.

Why VodafoneThree

Join us and you’ll be at the heart of change. That means building responsibly, investing sustainably and creating opportunities that last.

We’re not just expanding connectivity; we’re reimagining what a connected nation looks like. With £11bn invested in 5G and digital infrastructure, your work will directly power businesses, services, and communities across the country.

You’ll work on real challenges, with real impact, across every corner of the country. Wherever you join us, whatever your role, you’ll be helping to build a future that works better for everyone.

We move at pace, because what we’re building matters – and we’re learning as we go. We’re proud of the progress we’ve made, but we’re just getting started.

Join us at the heart of our business in Corporate, one of the central support functions that underpin our business and keep us moving forward. We provide centralised support, expertise and guidance across our UK and Group operations, continuing to build on our success and trailblazing the way to our next stage of digital growth.

What you’ll do

This is a rare opportunity to play a key role in shaping the future of the UK's largest mobile network provider. As a Strategic Sourcing Lead within Finance Operations, you'll help build high-value partnerships that support critical financial services, drive commercial value, and ensure resilience in a highly regulated environment. Working closely with Finance, Risk, Treasury, Legal, Procurement, and external partners, you'll influence strategic decisions that help deliver exceptional outcomes for both the business and its customers.

You will:

Develop and deliver forward-thinking sourcing strategies across finance-related categories, anticipating changing business, market, and regulatory requirements.
Build and maintain category plans that align with Finance, Risk, Treasury, and commercial priorities, identifying opportunities to create value and improve performance.
Use market intelligence, analytics, stakeholder insights, and financial modelling to inform investment decisions and shape sourcing strategies.
Lead complex sourcing initiatives across areas such as financial services, insurance, payments, banking, treasury, audit, tax, and debt management.
Negotiate commercial agreements and contracts that balance value, compliance, operational effectiveness, and long-term business objectives.
Apply market benchmarking, supplier insights, and risk management practices to strengthen supplier performance and optimise outcomes.
Collaborate with internal and external stakeholders to leverage best practice, drive innovation, and enhance category strategies.
Support effective supplier governance, ensuring smooth transitions, strong service delivery, and the resolution of operational or compliance challenges.
Champion responsible sourcing practices while ensuring compliance with governance frameworks, regulatory obligations, financial controls, and sustainability standards.

Who you are

Significant experience in strategic sourcing, procurement, or category management within financial services or related categories.
Strong commercial awareness and the ability to influence and collaborate with senior stakeholders across Finance, Risk, Treasury, Legal, and Procurement functions.
Proven experience leading complex negotiations and managing commercial, regulatory, financial, and operational risk.
Knowledge of financial products and services, including areas such as insurance, banking, treasury, audit, tax, payments, credit services, or debt management.
Ability to translate data, market insights, and financial analysis into clear commercial recommendations and sourcing strategies.
Experience working in large, complex, and highly regulated organisations with multiple stakeholders.
Understanding of procurement governance, compliance requirements, risk frameworks, and financial controls.
A track record of delivering measurable value, cost efficiencies, service improvements, and supplier innovation.
Excellent relationship-building, communication, and stakeholder management skills.
A collaborative, curious, and solutions-focused approach, with a commitment to continuous improvement and inclusive ways of working.

Worried that you don’t meet all the desired criteria exactly?
We know that everyone is unique, with multiple aspects to their identity and different experiences behind them. We are passionate about Inclusion for All and creating a workplace where everyone can thrive, whatever their personal or professional background. If you’re excited about this role but your experience doesn’t align exactly with every part of the job description, we encourage you to apply as you may be the right candidate for this role or another role, and our recruitment team can help you see how your skills fit in.

We believe that everyone has valuable contributions to make. As a Disability Confident Employer, we actively encourage individuals with disabilities to apply for positions within our team. Through the ‘Offer an Interview’ scheme, we aim to offer interviews to a fair and proportionate number of applicants with disabilities who best meet the essential criteria for our vacancies. If you would like to participate in the scheme, you will have the opportunity to indicate this on your application.

What we offer

We care about our people’s success by offering great pay, bonuses, up to 28 days off plus bank holidays, and paid time for charity work. You can personalise our benefits for you and your family, like discounts, vouchers, a pension plan and loads more. We help with your career through our amazing learning tools and top-notch parental leave policies.

Need to Know

We are regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and all offers of employment for this role are subject to background checks, including criminal (DBS) and financial checks to meet the regulators standards.

If you require any reasonable adjustments or have an accessibility request as part of your recruitment journey, for example, extended time or breaks in between online assessments, a sign language interpreter, or assistive technology, please refer to the Accessibility section of our Careers website (https://careers.vodafone.com/uk/reasonable-adjustments/) for guidance.

We use AI in different parts of our business to boost innovation, improve efficiency, and create new opportunities. We know many candidates use AI to fine-tune their CVs or prepare for interviews, but what we really care about is your unique experiences and achievements.

During the interview, we want you to rely on your own knowledge and skills to show us who you really are—your personality, creativity, and abilities. Above all, we’re looking for authenticity and can’t wait to get to know the real you.
