Argentus is working with one of our top clients in the Financial Services industry, serving some of the top companies and brands in Canada, with a strong strategic sourcing function and excellent category management group. Today, they’re looking for a Senior IT Procurement Specialist!
Working remote (from within Canada), this Senior IT Procurement Specialist will take on front-line strategic procurement duties for the company’s Information Technology category—including software, hardware, IT professional services, as well as maintenance, repair & operations (MRO) for the company’s IT equipment. Working closely to service a variety of internal stakeholders, this individual will form a deep understanding of stakeholder IT needs, and then work with the company’s supplier base to execute on high-value procurement RFQs (including licensing, renewals) to meet those needs, while mitigating costs, minimizing risk, and maximizing the value from the company’s supplier relationships. In this role, you will interact with a wide variety of internal business lines to deliver excellent IT procurement solutions, and work with suppliers as part of the negotiations process for contracts and terms. It’s an opportunity to apply your understanding of strategic sourcing best practices towards a modern, centre-led procurement function operating at the top of their game.
This is a great remote role for a mid-career procurement professional with a strong background in a mix of IT categories (including the goods and services mentioned above), particularly experience with licensing, renewals, and exposure to the contracts negotiation process. The successful candidate also needs to have experience with procurement and sourcing systems, for example Ariba, Coupa or Oracle, as well as experience with vendor management, KPIs and scorecarding. If you’re a mid-career IT Procurement professional, looking to move into a fantastic organization, reach out to Argentus at your earliest opportunity! Call 416 364 9919 or send an email with your current resume to recruit@argentus.com.
