1. Position Purpose The position will be responsible for coordinating, controlling, and optimizing the end-to-end procurement and vendor management process, ensuring that the acquisition of goods and services is carried out efficiently, transparently, and in accordance with internal policies, SOX controls, and Compliance, Legal, and Finance requirements.

The role will act as the central coordination point between requesting departments, Compliance, Legal, Finance/AP, and suppliers, preventing commercial commitments, purchase orders, or supplier invoices from being processed before the required controls and approvals have been completed.

The primary objective will be to establish and maintain a controlled Procure-to-Pay (P2P) process, while ensuring that the process remains sufficiently agile to meet the operational needs of the business.

2. Key Responsibilities

- Manage the procurement process from identification of the business need through supplier selection, contracting, and subsequent receipt and processing of invoices.
- Receive and review purchase requests submitted by the different departments.
- Validate that purchase requests contain all required information and approvals before initiating the procurement process.
- Determine, in accordance with the Procurement Policy, whether the purchase requires:

o Comparison of quotations; o A competitive bidding process;

o Additional approvals;

o A formal contract;

o Legal review;

o Compliance Due Diligence;

o Supplier risk assessment;





o Information Security / Data Protection review;

o Financial approval

- Coordinate supplier selection in collaboration with the requesting department
- Support the negotiation of commercial terms, where appropriate, including pricing, payment terms, contract duration, discounts, SLAs, renewal terms, termination clauses, and other relevant conditions
- Ensure that no commercial commitments are made with suppliers before all required controls and approvals have been completed
- Create, modify, and deactivate suppliers in SAP

3. Supplier Onboarding & Vendor Management

One of the critical responsibilities of the position will be to act as the operational owner of the supplier onboarding process, while Compliance retains responsibility for Compliance Due Diligence and supplier risk approval.

Important: The position should not independently approve Compliance Due Diligence or have unilateral authority to create or modify supplier bank account details. Appropriate segregation of duties (SoD) must be maintained throughout the process.

The role will be responsible for ensuring that the supplier onboarding process is properly coordinated and completed before a supplier is able to participate in the purchasing and payment process.

4. Purchase Order (PO) & Invoice Control The position will help address one of the key current challenges: invoices being received from suppliers who have not been previously approved and onboarded.

The role will establish and enforce the following principle:





No Approved Vendor → No Purchase → No PO → No Invoice Payment

Exceptions should only be permitted where they are formally defined, documented, and appropriately approved.

The position will also coordinate with Finance/AP and the relevant business departments to identify and resolve instances where invoices are received without the required procurement and approval process having been completed.

5. Procurement Performance & Reporting The position will establish, maintain, and monitor Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) related to Procurement and Vendor Management.

- KPIs should provide visibility into areas such as:
- Procurement cycle times;
- Supplier onboarding lead times;
- PO compliance;
- Invoice compliance;
- Spend under management;
- Competitive bidding / quotation compliance;
- Contract coverage;
- Supplier performance;
- Procurement exceptions and policy deviations;
- Outstanding procurement and onboarding requests.

The role will provide regular reporting and insights to relevant stakeholders and identify opportunities to improve process efficiency, strengthen controls, and enhance vendor management practices.
