Procurement Specialist

At PwC, a career in our Procurement team offers you the opportunity to drive value by collaborating with business leaders to optimize costs and ensure strategic supplier relationships. We partner with key internal stakeholders to deliver impact through end-to-end procurement processes, strategic negotiating, and risk mitigation in a dynamic business environment.

The role

As an integral part of our Procurement department, you will be responsible for identifying and challenging internal needs with stakeholders, leading RFx processes (RFI, RFQ, RFP), evaluating technical and financial proposals, and negotiating commercial terms (price, SLAs, deadlines, penalties). You will ensure contractual risk mitigation, optimize total cost of ownership (TCO), prepare and review supplier contracts, manage critical suppliers and strategic relationships, analyze spend to identify savings opportunities, and provide data-driven support to strategic decisions. You will work closely with business units and leadership, acting as a strategic partner rather than just an operational supporter.

Your profile

• Strong negotiation skills;
• Expertise in contract management and sourcing;
• Proficiency in Excel for analysis, reconciliations, and related tasks;
• Experience with Procurement or ERP tools;

We spark curiosity so you can do inspiring work.
