About the role: Procurement & Vendor Management Coordinator:

An excellent opportunity to join the Procurement & Contracts team of a leading financial services organisation, supporting the sourcing, onboarding and ongoing management of third‑party suppliers. This is a varied role where you'll work closely with internal stakeholders and external vendors, carrying out market research, supporting tender processes, analysing spend and commercial data, assisting with supplier negotiations and ensuring robust vendor management processes are followed throughout the contract lifecycle.

This role would suit someone with indirect procurement or purchasing experience gained in a corporate or regulated environment, particularly across areas such as professional services, IT, facilities, marketing or business services, rather than direct purchasing of goods or manufacturing materials. Candidates with a CIPS Level 3 qualification (or equivalent) will also be considered, even if they have limited commercial procurement experience, provided they can demonstrate strong analytical skills, excellent stakeholder management and a genuine interest in developing a career within procurement and vendor management.

• Conduct spend, trend and cost-benefit analysis to support commercial decisions.
• Manage low-risk purchasing activities and supplier quotations.
• Support vendor negotiations to achieve best value.
• Maintain supplier records, procurement systems and contract information.
• Assist with vendor onboarding and ongoing supplier management.
• Ensure procurement activities comply with company policies and regulatory requirements.
• Build effective relationships with internal stakeholders and external suppliers.
• Support the continuous improvement of procurement and vendor management processes.
• Provide reporting and administrative support to the Procurement & Contracts team.

Experience required for the role of Procurement & Vendor Management Coordinator:

• Experience in indirect procurement, purchasing, supplier or vendor management
• CIPS Level 3 (or equivalent) candidates will be considered even without extensive procurement experience.
• Strong analytical, organisational and stakeholder management skills, with good Excel and Microsoft Office knowledge.
• Financial services or other regulated industry experience is desirable but not essential.
