Build demand plans with application owners and business stakeholders, spotting consolidation opportunities and emerging licensing and commercial models.
Lead sourcing events from request for proposal (RFP) development through bid management, commercial evaluation and recommendation to contract signature. You’ll prepare and present contract documents in line with JLL’s Delegation of Authority.
Deliver financial targets across cost savings, cost avoidance and added value, and keep an accurate savings tracker so stakeholders can see the value delivered.
Rationalise the supply base, consolidate vendors and maintain a clear strategic supplier framework for the category.
Build strategic relationships with key software publishers, SaaS providers and data vendors. You’ll run supplier relationship management with the Procurement Centre of Excellence, covering reviews, scorecards and agreed cadence, and complete third party risk management (TPRM) activity in line with the framework.
Own the renewal calendar and support software asset management (SAM), including licence use and true-ups, so there are no unmanaged expiries or unplanned licence exposure.
Track market trends, licensing models and pricing benchmarks to inform every sourcing decision.
Champion best practice, process improvement and the adoption of sourcing tools, while keeping all activity in line with JLL procurement policies and ethical standards.

Deep strategic sourcing expertise in software, SaaS and/or data and information services, with a record of delivering category strategies across multiple regions.
Proven ability to lead complex, high-value procurement projects from strategy through to execution.

The credibility and presence to build lasting relationships with senior technology and business stakeholders.
A collaborative approach to working across procurement, IT, finance and operations.
A track record of using AI to work faster and deliver better results.
Familiarity with major enterprise software publishers, SaaS licensing models, SAM practices and licence true-up processes.
A relevant degree in business, supply chain, information technology or a related field. An MBA or a CPSM, CIPS or equivalent certification is welcome.

An ownership mindset, with the discipline to hit targets and the curiosity to keep improving how the category works.
