About the role
As ENSEK’s Supplier Manager, you’ll own our relationships with external technology and SaaS partners end‑to‑end. You’ll make sure every partnership delivers maximum performance, value, and minimal risk — from supporting teams with pricing and service negotiations to complex in‑life contract management, SLA oversight, and renewals.
Key responsibilities:
* Contract negotiation: Partner with functional leadership, Legal, Risk and Finance teams to secure strong commercial terms, clear SLAs, competitive pricing, and well‑managed risk
* Relationship management: Act as the main contact for vendors, building trusted, long‑term partnerships.
* Performance management: Design and build a strong vendor performance process that includes measurement against SLAs and KPIs, using scorecards to ensure quality, value and delivery.
* Risk mitigation: Identify and address financial, compliance or security risks to maintain a resilient, scalable global supply chain.
* Cost optimisation: Consistently review spend and market trends to spot savings opportunities, consolidate vendors, or source alternatives.
* Lifecycle ownership: Manage onboarding, ongoing performance, renewals and off-boarding.
* Internal collaboration: Partner closely with Risk, Finance, Legal and functional teams to align vendor strategies with operational, regulatory and data‑privacy needs across new territories.
Key outcomes:
* Fast, consistent onboarding/offboarding process with tight alignment across Finance, Risk, InfoSec and Legal.
* A high‑performing supplier base that meets or exceeds SLAs/KPIs and scales seamlessly across territories.
* Clear risk mitigations in place for high‑risk suppliers, backed by strong due‑diligence and continuous assurance.
* Tangible cost savings and value gains through renegotiation, consolidation, and smarter sourcing.
* Aligned vendors that are fully capable of supporting new‑market expansion with the right compliance, data‑handling and support models.
Experience required:
* Proven supplier management experience in SaaS, tech, or B2B services.
* Strong analytical skills to assess vendor performance, market trends and financials to drive cost and quality improvements.
* Exceptional stakeholder management skills having worked across Finance, Legal, InfoSec and wider teams previously.

* A track record of negotiating commercial contracts, SLAs and renewals.
* Experience managing multi‑territory suppliers or supporting international expansion.
