You'll lead a team of 3 procurement staff, with a clear mandate to mature the function by building structure, capability, and process discipline as RISE accelerates its growth.

- Build and manage relationships with infrastructure, telecom, and technology vendors
- Lead negotiations on pricing, terms, and SLAs to secure the best value without compromising quality or delivery timelines
- Develop and maintain a vendor management framework, including performance scorecards, review cadences, and escalation paths
- Evaluate and onboard new suppliers based on technical fit and commercial terms
- Drive procurement automation and digitization by implementing and optimizing e-procurement platforms and purchase order/approval workflows
- Manage procurement budgets and drive cost optimization across categories
- Identify and mitigate supply chain risks, including equipment shortages, vendor concentration, and lead-time volatility
- Coach, mentor, and grow the procurement team, establishing clear processes, role definitions, and career paths, and hiring to scale the function alongside business growth
- Track infrastructure and telecom market trends, new vendors, and emerging technologies relevant to network buildout
Qualifications
- Head of Procurement experience, or Senior Procurement Manager experience ready to step into a leadership role
- Experience in infrastructure and/or telecom procurement or supply chain
- Experience building vendor scorecards, formal SLAs, and regular supplier review cycles
- Demonstrated experience negotiating vendor pricing, terms, and SLAs, and managing supplier performance
- Working knowledge of procurement software/tools (e.g., e-procurement platforms, purchase order/approval workflows)
- Experience building or maturing a procurement function, including coaching and developing a team
- Procurement experience outside the Philippines is a plus
- Experience procuring for network buildouts (fiber, wireless, data center equipment)
- Existing relationships with telecom/infrastructure vendors in the Philippines or APAC region
- Track record of scaling a procurement function from the ground up, including automation/digitization initiatives and team development
- A tech-savvy, "geek" profile with genuine interest in the technology and infrastructure being sourced, not just contract management
