Job Description

  • You will follow internal finance governance surrounding the approval and signing of all contractual agreements.
  • You will procure in a way that meets our company objectives and corporate governance according to the Global Procurement Policy;
  • You will negotiate a wide range of contracts with respect to the spend areas and liaise with suppliers to resolve issues;
  • You will analyse and summarise global commodity spending trends to identify cost-saving opportunities;
  • You will actively use Unit4’s source-to-contract platform for contract management, project support requests, spend analysis and supplier management;
  • You must be competent to review and markup standard and non-standard supplier contracts with the assistance and support of the local legal teams.

Qualifications
