Role summary
Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.
The role manages strategic sourcing for non-IT categories, particularly professional services and resource augmentation. Responsibilities typically include developing sourcing strategies, leading tenders and contract negotiations, managing supplier relationships, achieving cost and value improvements, and ensuring procurement governance and risk standards. Candidates are expected to have substantial strategic procurement or category-management experience, preferably in banking or another highly regulated industry. Strong commercial judgment, negotiation, stakeholder-management and analytical skills are important, together with the ability to work with senior business leaders, legal, risk and finance teams. Experience managing professional-services vendors, contingent workforce arrangements and complex contracts would be advantageous. The successful candidate should be commercially minded, collaborative, detail-oriented and comfortable influencing stakeholders across a large organization.
Can I work in Singapore?
Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
How it works
How it works: Employment Pass: SGD 6,200+ a month in banking at 23, more with age (6,600 from January 2027), plus 40 COMPASS points for pay, degree, nationality mix and local hiring.
Before you apply: Dealing, advising and senior roles usually need a regulator's licence or approval, which checks your honesty, skills and finances. Ask if your job does.
Watch for: You score 0 nationality points when your nationality is 25% or more of the firm's professionals and managers; the job is usually advertised to locals for 14 days first.
