Global Procurement Manager

Coimbra, Portugal Phiture Tempo inteiro

Canonical is a leading provider of open source software and operating systems to the global enterprise and technology markets. Our platform, Ubuntu, is very widely used in breakthrough enterprise initiatives such as public cloud, data science, AI, engineering innovation and IoT. Our customers include the world's leading public cloud and silicon providers, and industry leaders in many sectors. The company is a pioneer of global distributed collaboration, with 1000+ colleagues in 70+ countries and very few roles based in offices. Teams meet two to four times yearly in person, in interesting locations around the world, to align on strategy and execution.

The company is founder led, profitable and growing.

We are hiring a Global Procurement Manager, reporting to the CFO. This role covers multiple Canonical corporate entities in several countries. We have a preference for candidates in EMEA time zones.

We have a particular procurement focus on travel, hotels and convention / meeting space for company and external events, advertising, hardware, software and SAAS. Together these make up the significant majority of non-staff expenditure. Canonical is unusually distributed in that it is truly global, with leadership spread across many countries, and the significant majority of colleagues working from home. Our commitment to in-person collaboration means that we fly colleagues to selected locations twice a year, typically in Europe or Canada, in order to create the shared vision and trust needed for deep and productive engagement in our mission. We also have a goal to drive our own operation to net-zero carbon, which is going to be extremely challenging considering our dependency on travel. The ideal candidate will be an astute and strategic thinker with experience in these domains who also has a personal interest in technology that gives them insight into the ways technology is changing both the buy-side and supply-side value proposition. In this selection process we will prioritize intellect and strategic thinking over experience - strong academics, a professional qualification in procurement, and some exposure to vendor management in a multi-national context will outweigh years of experience in unrelated sectors.

As a finance team, we hunt for new and innovative ways to help Canonical invest for the future while limiting volatility and material surprises, and are excited to grow the team to address this specialist domain.

Key responsibilities Anticipate multi-year needs for our unique business structure and develop appropriate supply chain strategyAnalyze supply chain carbon footprint and ensure procurement aligns with our broader climate commitmentsExplore alternative approaches to current operations and processes which might achieve goals more efficientlyDrive effective global sourcing and supply chain for complex operational purchases such as travel, or specialized technologyReview expense and credit card policies for consistency with procurement methodology and company missionParticipate in annual financial planning and budget processPrepare and present reports and proposed strategies to managementLead technology implementations including a travel management system What we are looking for in you Exceptional academic track record from both high school and universityUndergraduate degree in business, finance, economics, technology or other quantitative fieldMCIPS or active progress towards the qualificationKnowledge of best practice procurement processes, policies and procedures ideally in a public company environmentPassion for technology that manifests in personal projects and innovationThe work ethic and confidence to shine alongside motivated colleaguesCommercial acumen and negotiation skillsProfessional written and spoken English and excellent presentation skillsExcellent interpersonal skills, curiosity, flexibility, and accountabilityThoughtfulness and self-motivationResult-oriented, with a personal drive to meet commitmentsA track record of going above-and-beyond expectationsAbility to travel twice a year, for company events up to two weeks long Additional Skills That You Might Also Bring Leadership abilitySoftware or tech industry experienceFamiliarity with the global travel industry - airlines, travel management services, hotels, convention centresFamiliarity with technology procurement - hardware, data centers, networking, software and saas.Familiarity with advertising and marketing procurement - digital, socialExperience in standing up new Procurement policies and processesPublic company finance and reporting experienceMBA or equivalent combination of professional experience and certificationsExperience with Business Intelligence reporting, CRM, and ERP systems What we offer you We consider geographical location, experience, and performance in shaping compensation worldwide. We revisit compensation annually (and more often for graduates and associates) to ensure we recognise outstanding performance. In addition to base pay, we offer a performance-driven annual bonus or commission. We provide all team members with additional benefits, which reflect our values and ideals. We balance our programs to meet local needs and ensure fairness globally.
