Conduct "Three-Bid" analysis to ensure the best value for money without compromising quality.
Negotiate pricing, lead times, and payment terms to drive cost savings.

Facilitate the onboarding of new IT vendors (collecting tax info, bank details, and compliance docs).
Ensure that all purchases align with existing Master Service Agreements (MSAs) or Enterprise License Agreements (ELAs).
Monitor vendor performance regarding delivery timelines and accuracy.
Reporting & Record Keeping
Maintain accurate records of IT spend and realized savings.

Soft Skills:
