• Design, implement, and continuously improve VMO governance frameworks, ensuring monthly/quarterly/annual supplier review cadences and contractual compliance.
• Digitize and automate benefits/savings reporting processes, eliminating manual errors and improving accuracy and auditability.
• Prepare and present transformation and cost-savings reporting to CIO/C-suite leadership with clear, outcome-based narratives.
• Partner with Finance, Procurement, and strategic suppliers on annual budget planning and commercial term realignment.
• Advise senior stakeholders (C-suite / CIO level) on strategic sourcing, transformation, and ESG governance topics, supported by data-driven insight.

Your Skills:

• Demonstrated track record of using data analytics to deliver measurable cost savings across large, complex vendor portfolios.
• Experience building or operating a Vendor Management Office (VMO) or equivalent governance function.
• Strong stakeholder management experience, including advising senior/C-suite leadership.

• Bachelor's degree required; MBA or equivalent postgraduate qualification preferred.
