Extensive experience in procurement, ideally gained within technology, software, IT services, or a related field
Proven experience managing procurement processes from sourcing and supplier evaluation through to negotiation and contract management
Strong stakeholder management and communication skills, with the ability to build trust and understand business needs across different levels of the organisation
Experience working in a dynamic and fast-paced environment where you can operate both strategically and hands-on
A self-driven and proactive approach, with the ability to independently lead initiatives and drive them to completion
It’s a bonus if you have:
Experience procuring cloud infrastructure, content delivery networks or similar large-scale technology services

We’ve got you covered! 30 days of paid vacation every year, an attractive pension and insurance scheme, and generous parental leave pay lift.
Your wellbeing matters. We provide you with various wellbeing initiatives including wellness allowance.
Flexibility that works. We follow a hybrid model with at least three days a week in the office, giving you the best mix of collaboration and focus time.
A safe space to grow and up-skill. Our learning culture puts you in the driver’s seat of your own development.
An innovative environment with Hack Days once a year. This week-long initiative allows you to think outside the box and deliver creative, technical solutions that (more often than not) go on to be implemented, either in our product or our ways of working.
