Join JLL's Sourcing & Procurement (S&P) team as an EMEA Account Sourcing Manager, where you'll lead strategic sourcing activities for a key client account across our Integrated Facilities Management (IFM) service lines. This is a high-impact role where you'll drive measurable savings, shape supplier strategy, and act as a trusted advisor to both client stakeholders and internal leadership across the EMEA region. You'll have the autonomy to design and execute sourcing strategies, the visibility to influence senior decision-makers, and the platform to make a real difference to how our client procures critical services. If you thrive in a fast-paced, client-facing environment and enjoy turning commercial complexity into clear outcomes, this role is for you.
What You'll Do
- Lead end-to-end strategic sourcing and procurement activities across all IFM service lines for a designated client account, owning delivery from planning through execution.
- Represent JLL S&P in client meetings, governance forums, and Quarterly Business Reviews — presenting performance, savings analytics, project plans, and supplier insights.
- Drive negotiations and own savings delivery against account targets, with accurate tracking and reporting through the Jaggaer procurement platform.
- Manage the full RFP lifecycle, including bid analysis, recommendations, contract approvals, risk management, and compliance — partnering closely with client governance teams.
- Develop and implement country and regional sourcing plans, ensuring alignment with both client priorities and JLL's wider S&P strategy.
- Collaborate with Account Directors, Regional and Site Facilities Managers, and Operations teams to scope and prioritise the services to be procured.
- Build and develop the supply chain to meet evolving client needs, strengthening supplier capabilities and identifying opportunities for partnership growth and B2B collaboration.
- Manage framework relationships with JLL preferred suppliers, reviewing performance against agreed KPIs and collaborating with the Category Management Team.
- Ensure suppliers are qualified and onboarded in line with JLL's compliance, risk management, and contracting standards, maintaining accurate supplier records throughout.
- Embed sustainability and D&I priorities into the account's sourcing strategy, working alongside JLL's S&P Sustainability lead.
- Provide transition support for new business, including supplier onboarding, site visits, audits, and ensuring policies and procedures remain current and locally relevant.
- Deliver monthly and quarterly reporting on KPIs, supplier performance, savings, and contract management, and lead Voice of the Client / Stakeholder activities with clear follow-up actions.
What We're Looking For
- Deep understanding of IFM services and the broader EMEA supplier landscape, particularly for services contracts.
- Strong commercial and financial acumen, with the analytical rigour to translate data into clear recommendations.
- Proven ability to lead negotiations and develop strategic relationships with multi-national suppliers across EMEA.
- Solid grasp of sourcing procedures, protocols, and e-sourcing tools — ideally with hands-on Jaggaer (Bravo) or equivalent experience.
- Confident communicator who can engage credibly with senior client stakeholders, internal leaders, and supplier executives.
- Strategic mindset paired with strong project management skills — comfortable balancing multiple priorities, deadlines, and resources.
- Risk-aware and compliance-focused, with a track record of embedding governance and best practice into sourcing activity.
- Collaborative leader who brings out the best in cross-functional teams and supports the development of others.
- Customer-focused with a strong sense of ownership and follow-through, taking accountability for outcomes.
- Fluent in English; an additional Western European language is a plus. A business management or related degree is expected, and MCIPS (or country equivalent) is desirable.
