ASSISTANT MANAGER – PROCUREMENT

Compunnel Inc. | Corporate Procurement

Location: Noida Experience: 10 Years Type: Full-Time, On-site

ABOUT THE ROLE

Compunnel is looking for an Assistant Manager – Procurement to take real ownership of how we source, negotiate, and manage vendors — moving procurement here from a transactional, PO-processing function into a strategically managed one. This is a step up from a purchasing-execution role: you'll be shaping category strategy, driving vendor governance, and owning cost outcomes, not just following up on approvals.

WHAT YOU'LL OWN

1. Strategic Sourcing & Category Management

? Own end-to-end sourcing strategy across IT, admin, facility, and operational categories.

? Build category plans that balance cost, quality, and supply continuity rather than reacting request by request.

? Identify consolidation and standardization opportunities across recurring spend categories.

2. Vendor Negotiation & Governance

? Lead commercial negotiations on pricing, terms, and SLAs for new and renewing vendor contracts.

? Build and maintain a vendor governance framework — performance reviews, scorecards, and escalation paths.

? Develop long-term vendor relationships that hold up under pressure, not just at contract signing.

3. Budget & Cost Optimization

? Own procurement spend against budget,



with visibility into variance and savings delivered.

? Drive year-on-year cost optimization initiatives without compromising service quality.

4. Process & Compliance Governance

? Ensure procurement activity follows company policy, approval matrices, and audit requirements.

? Strengthen PR-to-PO workflows, documentation standards, and contract record-keeping across the function.

5. Stakeholder Management

? Act as the primary procurement point of contact for internal department heads and business leaders.

? Translate business requirements into sourcing plans that meet both timeline and cost expectations.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

Experience

? 10 years of experience in procurement, strategic sourcing, or supply chain management.

? Demonstrated ownership of vendor negotiations and category strategy, not just purchase execution.

Skills

? Robust negotiation, stakeholder management, and commercial acumen.

? Hands-on experience with ERP/procurement systems (SAP, Ariba, Coupa, or equivalent) and advanced Excel.

? Working knowledge of contract structuring, RFP/RFQ processes, and vendor risk management.

Education

? Graduate or Postgraduate degree in any discipline; a background in Supply Chain, Operations, or Business Management is a plus.

Education: Bachelors Degree
