Job description

Veo is a global leader in AI-based sports camera technology. Our innovative, fully automatic camera solution enables sports teams to record matches and training sessions without a camera operator. We’re democratizing the world of sports by granting video analysis for teams on all levels—a privilege that used to be only for the few. More than 50,000 clubs in 90+ countries record their games every week.

Growing as fast as we do in Veo means that every day is different, exciting, and challenging, both on the front line and in the back office.

But that’s not the most remarkable thing about us.

The coolest thing is our people. We’ve attracted some of the brightest minds in the industry. They are the reason we can create a great product and do it while enjoying ourselves.

About the role

Veo is scaling fast, and our spend on software and equipment has grown faster than the supporting structure has. We\u2019re hiring a Procurement & Vendor Manager to bring that under control. Your first and most important mandate is our software (SaaS) license spend: understanding what we pay for, our company needs, cutting what we don\u2019t use, and negotiating the remaining contract terms. You\u2019ll also own how we buy office hardware.

This is a hands-on, individual contributor role. You\u2019ll own procurement end-to-end yourself, building the process as much as running it, and working closely with teams across IT, Finance, and the wider business.

What you\u2019ll own

Software licenses & SaaS spend (primary focus)

• Audit and map current software license spend across the company, incl. who owns what, what\u2019s actually used, and where we\u2019re paying for redundant or dormant licenses.
• Clean up and rationalize the portfolio: eliminate shelfware, consolidate overlapping tools, and right-size seat counts.
• Build and maintain a renewals calendar so no contract auto-renews without review.
• Negotiate renewals and new contracts to reduce cost and improve terms.
• Establish lightweight software asset management (SAM) practices and reporting to keep spend visible going forward.

Hardware procurement

• Own purchasing of office hardware, incl. laptops, peripherals, AV, and related equipment.
• Source vendors, negotiate pricing and framework agreements, and standardize what we buy where it makes sense.

Contracts & vendor management

• Lead commercial negotiations on contracts, renewals, and new vendor deals.
• Manage supplier relationships and act as the internal point of contact for procurement.
• Partner closely with IT, Finance, and department heads to align buying with real needs and budget.

What success looks like:

• A complete, accurate picture of current software spend.
• Measurable savings from eliminated/renegotiated licenses.
• A functioning renewals process that prevents surprise auto-renewals.
• Clear, repeatable ways of buying software and hardware that scale with the company.

What we\u2019re looking for

• Solid procurement/vendor management experience, ideally with a strong focus on SaaS and software licensing.
• A track record of finding and delivering cost savings: You know how to read a contract and where the levers are.
• A confident, commercially sharp negotiator.
• Comfortable operating in a fast-moving, less-structured environment and building processes from the ground up.
• Strong stakeholder skills and able to work across IT, Finance, and the business, and to influence without direct authority.

Nice to have

• Experience with software asset management (SAM) tools or spend-management platforms.
• Familiarity with a scaling tech / SaaS company environment.

Our Copenhagen office mirrors our innovative technology with an indoor ball court, rooftop terrace, and well-equipped gym. We have created a facility that supports connecting disciplines across the business, facilitates creative thinking, and gives the space to engage with colleagues, our global partners, and the entire Veo community.
