Procurement Manager

About the Position

We are looking for a Procurement Manager to join our team and drive strategic sourcing and procurement excellence across indirect categories. If you enjoy negotiations, building strong supplier partnerships, and making a measurable business impact, we’d love to hear from you.

Responsibilities

• Own sourcing strategy and procurement planning across a broad and evolving range of indirect categories - from demand forecasting with business units to executing cost-optimized sourcing initiatives.
• Lead formal sourcing processes for high-value purchases, and provide consultative support and effort-sharing on smaller purchases where colleagues self-manage sourcing - applying the right approach (price comparison, RFQ, or RFP) based on purchase value and demand nature.
• Evaluate, select, and negotiate with suppliers to secure the best combination of cost, quality, and terms.
• Draft, negotiate, and manage contracts - including accurate documentation, recordkeeping, and compliance with internal governance.
• Align procurement decisions with technical specifications, project requirements, and delivery timelines in close partnership with internal stakeholders.
• Build strong supplier relationships and track performance against agreed KPIs, resolving issues through a structured escalation process when needed.
• Identify and mitigate supply chain and vendor risk, following relevant policies and compliance requirements.
• Champion ethical, sustainable (ESG) procurement practices.
• Deliver procurement reporting and spend analysis, communicating insights clearly to stakeholders.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Supply Chain Management, or a related field (Master’s degree preferred).
• Proven experience in indirect procurement, sourcing, vendor management, and demand management across multiple categories.
• Strong negotiation skills and the ability to secure favourable terms and agreements.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to align cross-functional teams internally.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities.
• Fluency in Ukrainian and English (written and spoken).
• Attention to detail and an analytical mindset, with the ability to make data-driven decisions.
• Adaptability and versatility in handling a wide range of procurement categories.
• Knowledge of procurement best practices and relevant laws and regulations.
• Familiarity with compliance and ethical considerations in procurement.

Nice to Have

• Procurement certification (e.g., CIPS) or relevant training.
• Experience in IT hardware/software procurement.

We Offer

• Competitive salary
• Opportunity to work remotely or in Kyiv, Ukraine
• Professional growth and development opportunities
• Inclusive and diverse work environment
