Procurement Director

Your role at Vertice

• You will own Vertice's procurement service delivery for the Mid Market segment in the UK, building a foundation of trust and robust action plans for our customers in this segment. This role calls for a leader with the shared language and gravitas to work alongside finance and procurement executives, and who is, above all, a hands-on operator with an owner's mindset.
• You will develop and communicate the Mid Market procurement vision for the UK, set and track performance against ambitious goals across your team, and build a function that customers trust to deliver. You will leverage Vertice's proprietary agentic workflows and AI-powered insights to sharpen negotiation prep, speed up sourcing decisions, and strip out the manual admin that slows traditional procurement teams down.
• Vertice is scaling fast. This is a genuine opportunity to shape how we deliver procurement services to this segment, rather than inheriting a fixed playbook.

Responsibilities

• Procurement Vision & Strategy: Develop and communicate a Mid Market procurement vision and strategy for the UK, setting and tracking performance across your team.
• Customer Strategy & Playbooks: Develop personalised procurement strategies for Mid Market accounts and build procurement playbooks that keep delivery consistent at scale.
• Strategic Sourcing: Develop and execute strategic sourcing plans, negotiate complex SaaS deals, and manage key SaaS partner relationships across the largest spend areas.
• Supplier Relationship Management: Lead cross-functional teams to implement effective SRM strategies, balancing innovation with best practice across the supplier base.
• AI-Powered Delivery: Use Vertice's agentic workflows and AI-driven insights to prioritise account research, sharpen negotiation prep, and remove manual admin from your team day-to-day.
