Senior Purchaser - International Company - Management for hire

Senior Purchaser / Contract Administrator - 12 months engagement - immediately start

Ready to take the lead on our client's Project Framework Agreements? We're looking for an experienced Purchaser to develop and implement them with our client's already-selected partnerships while holding the wider Sourcing desk, from ad hoc PO requirements to upcoming project scope, during a colleague's absence.

On behalf of our client, Qualified People AS is recruiting an experienced purchasing consultant for a 12 month engagement, starting as soon as possible. Our client is a lean, fast-scaling organisation that works closely with strategic partners rather than building everything in-house. That means this Purchaser role carries wide and deep responsibility, spanning everything from strategic sourcing decisions to hands-on contract execution. You'll work in a fast-paced environment backed by a strong investor platform and an international board and management team, where performance expectations are high.

Key Responsibilities:

• Collaborate with internal stakeholders to understand incoming purchase requirements, including Scope of Work, the Price and Delivery Matrix, and release timing
• Manage the ITT (Invitation to Tender) process from sourcing to delivery
• Facilitate purchase requisitions via the Company Administrator
• Confirm the agreed bidders list and ensure NDAs are signed by all participants
• Issue tenders to the market and manage clarifications (commercial, technical and legal)
• Facilitate shortlisting, negotiation, evaluation and selection on receipt of proposals
• Lead contract development and award
• Administer the contract, including project-specific call-off requirements with strategic partners
• Monitor and evaluate supplier execution of contracts
• Administer PO-related invoices, verifying commercial terms against the contract
• Expedite package-specific documentation deliverables as agreed in the contract
• Report package status against Procurement Status Report milestones to the Procurement Manager and Planning Manager

It's an advantage if you:

• Have solid experience across the full purchasing/procurement cycle, from sourcing through contract administration
• Are comfortable moving between strategic partnership work and detailed operational execution
• Share our client's working principles: Targets, Planning, Communication, Listening, Agility

Who You Are

We're looking for people who share our leadership and working principles:

• T - Targets
• P - Planning
• C - Communication
• L - Listening
• A - Agility

You're an experienced purchasing/procurement professional who's comfortable moving between strategic partnership work and detailed operational execution, and who thrives in a fast-moving, high-expectation scale-up environment.
