About Nomia
Nomia is on a mission to make tail spend simpler, more transparent, and more valuable.
We act as an extension of our customers' procurement teams, aggregating and executing the end-to-end sourcing, supplier onboarding, and contracting process for indirect spend.
We are a global team, with Procurement Hubs across Europe, the Middle East, North America, and Asia.
The Role
We are looking for a Procurement Manager to lead regional sourcing and procurement across indirect categories.
You will operate at the intersection of procurement expertise and digital intelligence, using data, AI-powered platforms, and category insight to drive smarter sourcing decisions and measurable customer value.
This is a hands-on, customer-facing role.
You will spend some of your time face‑to‑face with customers and suppliers, so you should be within a commutable distance of a Nomia office and able to travel within your region when needed.
Travel is limited and primarily within region.
What You'll Do
- Indirect Sourcing & Procurement
- Support the development and execution of regional procurement strategy, aligned with Nomia's objectives, customer requirements, and regional market dynamics.
- Lead end-to-end sourcing across indirect categories, including IT hardware, software, licenses, and professional services.
- Run RFx processes (RFP/RFQ) on the Nomia platform to secure structured, comparable, data‑backed supplier responses.
- Evaluate suppliers on commercial competitiveness, capability, compliance, and service quality using platform analytics and spend data.
- Negotiate pricing, service level agreements, and contractual terms using market data and cost modelling.
- Supplier Development & Relationship Management
- Build and manage relationships with regional suppliers.
- Expand the supplier ecosystem to meet indirect procurement needs across the region.
- Maintain and manage the regional preferred supplier list for indirect categories.
- Category & Market Expertise
- Support category strategies for indirect spend, using AI-driven category intelligence and regional market data.
- Apply category management principles to regional spend where there is no global coverage.
- Analyse regional spend and supply markets to identify cost optimisation opportunities, translating insight into actionable recommendations.
- Share regional supplier market trends and insights with Category Management and Global Buying teams.
- Supplier Onboarding & Compliance
- Manage supplier onboarding, including compliance checks, sanctions screening, and contractual documentation.
- Support supplier adoption of the Nomia platform and adherence to structured RFx processes.
- Customer & Internal Collaboration
- Support sourcing activities for new customer contracts, aligning supplier capability, pricing, and service with customer needs.
- Partner with Business Development, Customer Success, Legal, Finance, and Product teams to deliver exceptional customer experiences.
- Represent Nomia in supplier and customer meetings, articulating procurement value through data‑led insight and commercial acumen.
- Contribute to continuous improvement of our sourcing processes and procurement playbooks.
What We're Looking For
- 5+ years of experience in a sourcing and procurement role.
- Proven ability to support category strategies and SRM initiatives.
- Strong understanding of sourcing and procurement, S2P workflows and processes, and the underlying technologies.
- A high level of AI fluency, with experience in data analysis, sourcing, commercial and contract negotiation, and SRM.
- Experience working with enterprise Saa S is advantageous.
- Effective, empathetic verbal and written communication with stakeholders at all levels of seniority.
- How We Work
- Hybrid, with 3 days each week in the office (or more if requested by your line manager).
- Within a commutable distance of a Nomia office, with limited regional travel to customers and suppliers.
- A global, high-performing team that values diversity and inclusion, and fosters continuous improvement across our systems and processes.
