Job description

Would you like to work in an organization where the work you do is meaningful and has a direct impact on the lives of millions of people and businesses? Our core business is data and how it can be used to help our customers make intelligent decisions. Together, we are building a culture that colleagues describe as friendly, professional, and caring, where you are encouraged to challenge yourself and grow. We are looking for a dedicated Procurement Manager to help us strengthen how Enento buys services and solutions across the Group.

What will you do?

Your key responsibilities will include, but are not limited to:

• Developing and implementing Group-wide procurement practices, processes, templates, and governance to make purchasing more structured, efficient, transparent, and scalable.
• Driving cost savings and commercial efficiencies through structured sourcing, supplier competition, demand consolidation, spend visibility, and negotiation support.
• Leading and supporting procurement projects for IT and other strategically important purchases, ensuring that business needs are translated into clear sourcing requirements and commercially sound agreements.
• Building procurement routines that support the full supplier lifecycle, while ensuring a clear handover to Vendor Management for ongoing vendor performance, relationship management, and service optimization after contracts are in place.
• Working closely with Legal and Finance to improve contract discipline, purchasing controls, risk awareness, and compliance with internal policies and applicable regulatory requirements.
• Providing data-driven insight into procurement spend, supplier base, recurring cost drivers, and opportunities for simplification, harmonization, and savings across Enento.

Who are you?

To be successful in the role as Procurement Manager, we believe that you have experience in procurement, strategic sourcing, commercial contract management, or supply chain management. You understand procurement processes and are comfortable running sourcing activities, negotiating with suppliers, and helping internal stakeholders make commercially sound purchasing decisions. Ideally, you have at least a bachelor’s degree and around five years of experience in contract management or procurement, including working with IT vendors. Experience with IT procurement, professional services, software licensing, or technology-related sourcing is considered a strong advantage. In order to succeed in the role, you need to be fluent in English. Swedish or Finnish proficiency is seen as a benefit.

We place great emphasis on personal characteristics and attitudes in our recruitments. We are looking for someone with a commercial and analytical mindset, strong structure, integrity, and the ability to turn ideas into practical ways of working. You enjoy improving processes, challenging existing cost structures, and creating clarity for others. You are collaborative by nature and can work effectively with business owners, IT, Finance, Legal, and Vendor Management. You understand that great procurement does not end with a signed contract, but you also know where procurement should lead, support, and hand over so that vendor relationships can be managed successfully over time.
