Technology Procurement Manager - Asset Manager

Opportunity to join a successful Asset Manager as the first dedicated tech procurement hire, offering a chance to build, shape and mature the function from the ground up. This is a highly visible role, working closely with senior stakeholders including the CTO, to embed best-in-class procurement practices across the organisation.

You will take ownership of end-to-end technology procurement and vendor management, covering sourcing strategy, supplier selection, contract lifecycle management, renewals and driving cost optimisation and value creation. Leading complex commercial negotiations, you will balance cost, risk and long-term supplier performance while building strong, collaborative relationships across the business.

You'll also oversee supplier due diligence in line with regulatory requirements and establish robust performance and value-for-money frameworks to ensure maximum return from key vendors (e.g. AWS). You will define and track procurement metrics, while introducing and evolving processes, standards and ways of working as the function grows. You'll play a key role in shaping how technology procurement supports the wider business strategy.

• You have experience of building, improving or scaling procurement processes.
• You have a good understanding of regulatory, risk and governance considerations relevant to IT procurement.
• You have advanced stakeholder management, communication and influencing skills, with the confidence to challenge constructively and ability to explain complex issues clearly.
