You'll be a trusted voice across the organization, engaging with senior executives and operational teams alike to influence decisions that matter.

• Drive savings delivery – Lead the monitoring of savings performance using validated methodologies, and craft sharp, executive‑ready analyses for top management and C‑level reporting.
• Be the go‑to expert – Support sourcing teams in applying savings methodologies and validation processes, positioning yourself as a key enabler of procurement excellence.
• Manage high‑stakes relationships – Act as the primary interface with Finance for savings validation and reporting, navigating complex stakeholder dynamics with confidence and credibility.
• Deliver executive‑level reporting – Ensure quarterly performance reporting to Group Procurement leadership, translating data into clear, actionable narratives for senior audiences.
• Fuel continuous improvement – Analyze procurement spend and savings to proactively identify efficiency opportunities and challenge the status quo.

• 5+ years of professional experience in a demanding, fast‑paced environment.
• Proven track record in strategic transformation and planning with a strong financial dimension.

• Advanced Excel skills for performance data analysis.
• Advanced PowerPoint skills – you know how to build a deck that lands in a boardroom.

Soft Skills / Transversal Skills

• Fluent in English & French (spoken and written).
• Expert stakeholder manager – equally comfortable presenting to a C‑suite executive and collaborating with operational teams.
• Influencing without authority – able to align and mobilize cross‑functional teams around shared goals without direct reporting lines.
• Conflict resolution & negotiation – skilled at navigating tensions, particularly in sensitive contexts such as savings validation with Finance.
• Executive communication – concise, confident, and impactful whether in a one‑pager or a boardroom presentation.
• Resilience & adaptability – able to manage shifting priorities, tight deadlines, and ambiguity with composure.
• Ability to zoom out, see the big picture, and prioritize what truly matters.
• Structured, rigorous, and organized – you bring clarity to complexity.
• Strong interpersonal skills and a natural collaborator.

Where will you be in the organization?

You’ll join the Group Procurement division, whose mission is to increase AXA's competitiveness by optimizing the end‑to‑end procurement cycle and building a high‑performance, sustainable, and risk‑managed supplier base.

You’ll be part of the Group Procurement Performance & Data team – a strategic unit at the crossroads of finance, operations, and executive decision‑making.
