About the Role
One of Lorien's key, global-reaching solutions clients is recruiting four Supplier Onboarding Administrators to support a time-limited project focused on supplier registration and data cleansing across its ERP and supplier management systems. While the role sits firmly in administration, a large part of the day-to-day work involves speaking with suppliers directly, so you'll need to be comfortable holding professional conversations in English and in your second language. You'll be picking up new internal processes at pace, so previous exposure to structured admin work would be ideal, and matters more than specific onboarding industry experience.
Key Responsibilities
- Reviewing supplier accounts to understand their tier, category, and level of spend
- Reaching out to suppliers to start the onboarding journey, focusing first on higher-value and business-critical accounts
- Chasing and supporting suppliers through registration so records get completed on time
- Checking whether a non-disclosure agreement needs to be put in place
- Agreeing and logging payment terms
- Reviewing supplier paperwork to make sure everything required has been submitted correctly
- Amending classification records in the finance system where needed, and updating each supplier's onboarding status
Key Deliverables
- Full and accurate onboarding completion for all identified legacy suppliers
- Cleansed ERP classification data and consistent naming conventions
- Updated and accurate vendor master records
What success looks like
- Every legacy supplier on the list has been fully onboarded before year end
- Classification data and naming conventions across the system are consistent and cleaned up
- Vendor records are accurate and up to date
Requirements
- Business-level fluency in English and at least one of: Italian, French, or German (CEFR C2 or higher preferred)
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the confidence to liaise professionally with external suppliers, including where a language barrier could otherwise cause friction
- Ideally some form of administrative experience, with the ability to learn new systems and processes quickly
- Desirable but not essential: Basic understanding of supplier onboarding or vendor management processes
- Familiarity with ERP systems (e.g. Infor M3 or similar)
