Build the function

  • Design and document Execo's procurement policy, purchase request process and approval workflow, with Finance.
  • Set up and maintain a central register of vendors, contracts, renewal dates and spend by entity and country.
  • Create standard templates: purchase requests, request for quotation, vendor comparison and purchase orders.

Source and buy

  • Run sourcing for every purchase category, with a minimum of three quotes where the policy requires it.
  • Own technology procurement: laptops, peripherals, software licences and IT equipment, including hardware for the Kenya team and future projects.
  • Manage office supplies and consumables across all offices.
  • Handle cross-border purchases, including import duties, shipping, customs clearance and in-country delivery.

Manage vendors and contracts

  • Lead office rent and workspace negotiations, renewals and exits, in coordination with Legal and Finance.
  • Negotiate pricing, payment terms, warranties and service levels with vendors.
  • Track vendor performance and renewal deadlines so nothing auto-renews unreviewed.
  • Maintain an asset register of company-owned equipment, including issue and return of employee devices.

Control and report

  • Review every purchase request for business need, budget availability and correct approval before commitment.
  • Report monthly spend, savings achieved and open commitments to the Head of People & Culture and Finance.
  • Keep procurement records audit-ready for each entity's local tax and accounting requirements.



Requirements

Must have

  • 6+ years in procurement or purchasing, with at least 2 years managing the function or a category.

Nice to have

  • Background in a BPO, shared services or multinational procurement team serving several countries.
  • Experience buying in Africa or India, especially Kenya.
  • Familiarity with procurement or spend tools (e.g. Zip, Procurify, Coupa) or accounting systems like Xero or QuickBooks.
  • Degree in supply chain, business or a related field; CIPS or similar certification.

Benefits

Work arrangement and what we offer

  • Based in Metro Manila on a fixed 11am–8pm (Manila time) shift, to overlap with vendors in Kenya and South Africa. Occasional later calls may be needed for urgent vendor or customs issues.
  • Base salary of ₱85,000–₱120,000 per month, plus 13th-month pay and a flexi-benefit allowance you can use however you choose.
  • A chance to build a function from the ground up in a growing multinational group.
