  • Lead procurement processes for non-commercial areas across the company.
  • Manage vendor selection, negotiation, renewals and contract lifecycle.
  • Drive cost optimization, vendor consolidation and contract standardization.
  • Coordinate closely with Legal, Finance, Compliance, Operations and Product.
  • Provide leadership with visibility into partner performance, costs and risks.

 

What makes you a great fit:

  •  5–8+ years of experience in partnerships, vendor management, procurement, operations or strategic alliances.
  • Advanced conversational English level. 
  • Advanced conversational Spanish level.
  • Conversational Russian level (nice to have). 
  • Open to 100% on site role.
  • Strong negotiation and relationship-management skills.
  • Experience working in complex or regulated environments.
  • Ability to manage multiple stakeholders and critical relationships.
  • Highly structured, detail-oriented and ownership-driven.
  • Experience in fintech, financial services or technology platforms (nice to have).

 

Our ways of working:

  • Innovative Spirit: A commitment to creativity and groundbreaking solutions.
  • Honest Feedback: valuing open, transparent communication.
  • Supportive Team: a strong, collaborative community.
  • Celebrating Achievements: recognizing our wins together.
  • High-Tech Environment: a team full of smart and revolutionary people who date to challenge the status quo of incumbent finances.
