Your role at Vertice:
You will own Vertice's procurement service delivery for the Mid Market segment in the UK, building a foundation of trust and robust action plans for our customers in this segment. This role calls for a leader with the shared language and gravitas to work alongside finance and procurement executives, and who is, above all, a hands-on operator with an owner's mindset.
You will develop and communicate the Mid Market procurement vision for the UK, set and track performance against ambitious goals across your team, and build a function that customers trust to deliver. You will leverage Vertice's proprietary agentic workflows and AI-powered insights to sharpen negotiation prep, speed up sourcing decisions, and strip out the manual admin that slows traditional procurement teams down.
Vertice is scaling fast. This is a genuine opportunity to shape how we deliver procurement services to this segment, rather than inheriting a fixed playbook.
Responsibilities:
Procurement Vision & Strategy: Develop and communicate a Mid Market procurement vision and strategy for the UK, setting and tracking performance across your team.
Customer Strategy & Playbooks: Develop personalised procurement strategies for Mid Market accounts and build procurement playbooks that keep delivery consistent at scale.

Supplier Relationship Management: Lead cross-functional teams to implement effective SRM strategies, balancing innovation with best practice across the supplier base.
AI-Powered Delivery: Use Vertice's agentic workflows and AI-driven insights to prioritise account research, sharpen negotiation prep, and remove manual admin from your team day-to-day.
About You:
Procurement Expertise: A professional background in Strategic Sourcing, Project Management, Procurement, Vendor Management, or a related discipline in Consulting.
SaaS Fluent: Strong understanding of the SaaS business model and the wider ecosystem.
Customer Obsessed: A track record of delivering extraordinary results for mid-sized customers, with superb listening skills and the ability to dig deeper to uncover a customer's true objectives.
Compelling Communicator: A clear, confident communicator in writing, in conversation, and in front of senior customer stakeholders or prospects, with a proven ability to run compelling presentations.
AI-Curious: You actively experiment with the latest AI tools in your own workflow, and want to work in a business modernizing the procurement industry.
Why join Vertice?
High-Impact Ownership: Join at a stage where you can build the Mid Market procurement function in the UK from the ground up, with real autonomy over strategy and delivery.
Growth Trajectory: Vertice is scaling fast, and this role puts you at the centre of that growth in one of our core segments.
