IT Procurement Manager

Lead strategic IT purchasing for a complex public-sector IT environment, shaping software and consultancy sourcing strategies while managing vendors and contracts. You will combine procurement expertise with NIS 2 compliance to rationalize spend and strengthen the resilience of critical digital services.

CONTEXT

Our client, a major public-sector IT operator, is modernizing the way a complex digital estate buys, contracts and governs technology. Software licenses, consultancy services and critical vendor relationships are spread across many teams, and the organization needs a strategic buyer who can bring structure, commercial discipline and compliance to the full sourcing lifecycle. The mission sits at the intersection of procurement, legal, security and IT operations, with NIS 2 requirements adding a new layer of rigor to third-party risk and contractual resilience. The Senior Strategic IT Buyer will help rationalize purchases, professionalize vendor management and ensure that every contract supports a secure and sustainable digital environment.
