About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Own category strategy end-to-end (pipeline, priorities, supplier panel, renewals plan), and translate it into a quarterly roadmap for Banking, Operations, and SaaS.
Lead competitive sourcing (RFx) and negotiations autonomously within the delegation of authority, from business need to supplier selection and award.
Drive measurable outcomes on your scope: savings and cost avoidance, service quality, risk reduction, and stakeholder satisfaction.
Partner with stakeholders as a trusted advisor: challenge choices when needed, align on evaluation criteria, and ensure sourcing decisions are structured, documented, and defensible.
Embed vendor risk and compliance into the workflow: coordinate due diligence with Risk, Compliance, Legal, and Security, and ensure approvals and evidence are stored and easy to retrieve (audit-ready).
Own process and tool improvement for your scope (intake quality, PR/PO compliance, cycle time), and identify root causes behind recurring friction.
Build and scale AI use cases to improve procurement efficiency (offer analysis, helpdesk bot, procurement intake bot).
Contribute to procurement standards and enablement: improve the policy, guides, and training materials once processes are ready to scale.
