About Group Procurement

Group Procurement at LSEG manages third-party supplier engagements, partnering with the business to deliver high performance and sustainable value. We view our suppliers as strategic partners and sources of competitive advantage—not merely cost centres. Our operating model is built around business partnering and supplier relationship management (SRM), aligned to stakeholder groups and spend categories, enabling early engagement and data-driven decision-making.

With a global supplier base of approximately 5,000 and annual spend of £2 billion, the team is structured into three core towers—Technology, Services, and Corporate—supported by a Strategy & Performance Centre and a Third Party Risk Management (TPRM) team. Key hubs are located in London, Bangalore, and New York, with decentralised support across Europe and Asia.

Role Purpose

This role supports the Category Director for Technology Services in executing category strategies and managing supplier relationships. It focuses on sourcing, supplier management, and business engagement, with a particular emphasis on handling Statements of Work (SOWs), purchase requests (PRs), and purchase orders (POs) across Ariba, Oracle, and Fieldglass platforms.

You will manage a subset of LSEG’s strategic suppliers with spend exceeding £500K, ensuring alignment with SRM frameworks and procurement policies. While primarily aligned to the Technology Services category, you may also support other procurement teams as needed.

What You'll be doing

• Support delivery of category strategy and SRM programme in collaboration with Category Leads and Managers.
• Lead sourcing and negotiation for low to medium spend SOWs, ensuring commercial and legal compliance.
• Monitor and approve PRs/POs, ensuring alignment with procurement standards and onboarding protocols.
• Maintain visibility of the sourcing pipeline and ensure timely renewals and accurate scoping.
• Support SRM activities and manage assigned supplier relationships.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (Legal, Finance, HR) to resolve queries and ensure smooth procurement operations.
• Maintain procurement data and systems, including savings trackers and supplier databases.
• Oversee contract performance, draft variations, and ensure continuous improvement.
• Provide end-to-end support across the sourcing lifecycle, including exception handling and delivery assurance.

What We're Looking For

Essential:

• Minimum 2- 3 years of background in procurement with focus on IT professional services is preferred
• Commercial acumen and negotiation skills.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement abilities.
• Strong IT skills (Excel, Teams, SharePoint, Ariba, Fieldglass).
• Analytical and problem-solving capabilities.
• Ability to manage workload and meet deadlines.
• Ability to change challenges into opportunities with a positive mindset.
• Team-oriented with a proactive work ethic.
• Educated to degree level.

Desirable:
