Max ease. Full speed.\nWhether people and businesses are sending money to another country, spending abroad, or making and receiving international payments, Wise is on a mission to make their lives easier and save them money.\nAs part of our team, you will be helping us create an entirely new network for the world's money.\nFor everyone, everywhere.\nMore about our mission and what we offer.\n As the Procurement Operations Manager at Wise, you will not just be managing the procurement process + system; you will also be involved with building the architecture of our procurement infrastructure. You will be a key contributor in Wise’s end-to-end source-to-pay (S2P) transformation, deploying procurement processes, and establishing governance that balances compliance with agility. Alongside this strategic build, you will own the day-to-day BAU Procurement operations-ensuring the smooth execution of daily PR/PO lifecycles, resolving system bottlenecks, and maintaining high data integrity to support the business uninterrupted. This role requires a blend of strategic building and hands-on execution.\nKey Responsibilities\n1. Procurement Operations\nManage the E2E processes on our Procurement/TPM tool “Omnea” and identify + resolve bottlenecks and/or bugs.\n\nOwn vendor master data integrity, vendor onboarding, and the purchase order (PO) approval workflow.\n\nAct as Procurement’s system administrator and super-user for our Procurement/TPM tool “Omnea”, owning all Procurement processes within the system & ensuring seamless integrations with ERP (BC) and AP system (Medius).\n\nDrive the Wise Procurement Standards, ensuring all buying activities follow the correct buying channels and treatment strategies.\n\nBuild dashboards and reporting mechanisms to track key operational metrics, pipeline visibility, and contract renewal schedules and enable the Category Management team.\n\nManage and optimise global buying channels (e.g., punch-outs, hosted catalogs, P-Cards, and purchase orders) to ensure intuitive user experiences and high compliance.\n\nTail Spend Management: Develop and execute strategies to actively manage and reduce tail spend, vendor consolidation and moving ad-hoc spend into structured buying channels - negotiating where applicable.\n\nAuthor and maintain comprehensive, Procurement standard operating procedures (SOPs), process and governance documentation to comply with internal controls and external audit requirements.\n\n2. Process & Infrastructure Design\nManage change management initiatives associated with new procurement processes, policies, or technology rollouts, ensuring high adoption across internal stakeholders and external suppliers.\n\nCreate clear, UX friendly procurement processes and playbooks that ensure compliance whilst balancing agility and speed.\n\nDesign and deploy a comprehensive matrix of corporate buying channels (including punch-outs, hosted catalogs and guided buying pathways). Ensure these channels are UX friendly, intuitively structured to automatically route spend to Wise’s preferred suppliers to minimize maverick buying, and maximize touchless processing across the organization.\n\n3. Vendor Risk & Compliance\nIn partnership with Third Party Risk and key SMEs, ensure our Procurement process operates within a robust Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) framework suitable for a regulated financial entity.\n\nEnsure all operational procurement activities align with financial regulations (e.g., SOX, SOC2, FCA, GDPR, DORA, where applicable).\n\nManage the operational lifecycle of critical vendors, tracking SLAs, performance, and compliance metrics.\n\nProcurement Controls Management: Design, implement, and monitor procurement operational controls, conducting regular self-assessments to detect and remediate control gaps prior to formal audits.\n\nCompliance Automation: Partner with TPRM and TPM Tech to automate compliance checks within the S2P process to minimize human error and manual overheads.\n\n4. Stakeholder Enablement & Culture\nAct as the primary bridge between key stakeholders involved in the S2P process e.g Finance, Legal, InfoSec, and budget holders.\n\nTrain the organization on how to buy goods and services efficiently, shifting the perception of procurement from a \"blocker\" to an enabler.\n\n Skills & qualifications\nProcurement Operations Background: 4+ years of procurement operations experience, ideally within a fast-paced Fintech, SaaS, or high-growth technology environment.\n\nGreenfield Exposure: Proven experience being part of a procurement transformation or building a procurement operation from scratch is highly desirable.\n\nSystems Expert: Deep hands-on experience implementing or heavily managing modern e-Procurement/S2P platforms (e.g., Omena, Zip, Coupa, Zip, Business Central).\n\nData-Driven: Advanced proficiency in data analytics, spend analysis, and Excel/BI tools to turn raw data into actionable insights.\n\nThe \"Builder\" Mindset: You are comfortable building out processes and operationalise for BAU.\n\nAgile Communicator: Ability to speak the language of technical stakeholders, Compliance, and the senior stakeholders alike.\n\nProblem Solver: You don't just identify process bottlenecks; you automate them away.\n\n Salary for the role - HUF 1185000 to HUF 1400000 / gross monthly (+RSU's)\nFor everyone, everywhere.
