Position objective:
Your responsibilities will include, but are not limited to:
Key Responsibilities:
Interface with UK Services Procurement Specialist/Manager:
This role supports, but does not own, the client account. The UK-based Specialist or Manager retains overall relationship ownership, strategic stakeholder management, approval authority above agreed thresholds, escalation resolution, and leadership of large or complex procurements. This GCC-based role executes the procurement and negotiation workload -
requirement validation, RFP support, supplier evaluation and cost negotiation - under their direction, engaging directly with client SOW buyers on the detail of individual requirements. A clear negotiation authority matrix (e.g. value thresholds requiring UK sign-off) and escalation protocol between the two roles should be defined and referenced here
once agreed.
Workplace Health, Safety, and Environmental Compliance:
At Vertage it is our moral obligation to safeguard each other, our customers, our temporary workforce, and the environment by operating an injury-free, healthy workplace that minimises our environmental impact.

Position Objective:
Vertage has a combined spend of €8 billion under management, with 2,100 expert colleagues and 75,000 professionals serving customers worldwide. Services Procurement is a rapidly growing service line for our business, offering both public and private sector customers a diverse range of services to procure and manage statement of work-based services. We are expanding, and this role is central to building the operational engine behind a market-leading Services Procurement practice. As a Services Procurement Negotiator, based in our GCC, you will support allocated UK accounts by running the procurement and negotiation steps of the SOW lifecycle: liaising with client SOW buyers, helping shape RFPs, and negotiating cost with suppliers. You will not own the client relationship - that remains with the UK Services Procurement Specialist or Manager - but you will engage directly with client stakeholders on the detail of individual requirements and
negotiations, so strong client engagement skills are essential. The role manages c. $20m of indirect, SOW-based supplier spend delivered by suppliers in India - buying outcomes and
teams from third-party suppliers, rather than goods or direct materials. Savings are tracked two ways: the difference between a supplier's first quote and second (negotiated) quote at the point of procurement, and the reduction in usage/volume achieved year-on-year (Year 1 to Year 2) on renewed or extended SOWs.
Your responsibilities will include, but are not limited to:
Liaising with client SOW buyers to clarify and validate new requirements
Supporting the creation of RFPs and running mini-competitions
Negotiating cost with suppliers, capturing the first quote and the second (negotiated) quote for every SOW so that savings can be calculated and reported
Tracking and reporting usage/volume reduction year-on-year on renewed or extended SOWs as a second savings lever
Evaluating supplier proposals and preparing recommendations for approval
Supporting renegotiation of SOWs in response to change requests
