Key Responsibilities
Category & Supplier Strategy
- Own category and supplier strategies for Events, Employee Transport, Gifting and Marcom, in close collaboration with senior procurement leaders and business stakeholders.
- Build deep, ground-level market intelligence rate benchmarks, new and alternate vendors, emerging service and pricing models — and translate it into commercial advantage.
- Drive year-on-year cost improvement and value creation across the assigned scope, without compromising service quality, timelines or compliance.
Sourcing & Supplier Management
- Run the full sourcing cycle — RFP/RFQ, e-auctions, commercial comparisons, negotiations, contract finalization, frame agreement renewals and onboarding of new vendors.
- Negotiate hard and smart on rate cards and commercial terms across event agencies, transport operators, gifting and merchandise vendors, creative/marcom and print/media partners.
- Manage supplier performance on SLAs, turnaround times, service quality, availability and escalations — and act quickly to protect the business when a supplier slips.
- Maintain approved supplier lists in line with category strategy, keeping a healthy, competitive and de-risked vendor base.
Digital & Analytics
- Drive digitization and process automation within the assigned categories — adoption of digital sourcing tools, supplier portals and analytics dashboards to improve efficiency, data quality and decision-making.
- Prepare periodic MIS and category reporting covering spend, savings, supplier performance and KPIs, with a clear, decision-ready view for leadership.
Compliance & Governance
- Ensure Source-to-Pay (S2P) compliance with procurement policies,
delegation of authority and governance standards across all assigned categories.
- Coordinate with Global Business Services (GBS) on goods receipt, payment operations, vendor query resolution and supplier-name reconciliation.
- Champion clean, audit-ready documentation and process discipline across the portfolio.
Stakeholder & Sustainability
- Partner closely with internal stakeholders — Admin, HR, Marketing/Marcom, Facilities, Finance and Business Teams — to deliver category requirements cost-effectively and on time.
- Support sustainability initiatives across categories — Scope 3 on Employee Transport and Travel, EV transition, green/sustainable events and responsible gifting.
What you bring
- 5–7 years of experience in Procurement or Strategic Sourcing, preferably across Events, Employee Transport, Gifting, Marcom or other indirect / marketing-services spend.
- Hands-on track record executing RFPs, commercial comparisons, supplier negotiations and contract management in a structured corporate environment.
- Working knowledge of the relevant supply markets — event and MICE agencies, corporate transport and mobility operators, gifting/promotional-merchandise vendors, and creative, print, media and marcom partners.
- Familiarity with corporate spend workflows — event and offsite planning, employee transport operations (managed/nodal/spot), gifting programs and marketing-communications procurement — is preferred.
- Experience with procurement / ERP systems such as SAP, Concur or equivalent is an advantage.
- Solid MS Office skills — advanced Excel for analysis, tracking and reporting, and PowerPoint for leadership presentations.
- Ability to drive change — standardization, continuous improvement and best-practice adoption within the procurement function.
