Your responsibilities

Join our client's team, where you'll play a key role in managing the full lifecycle of technology vendors within the Chief Information Office of one of the world's leading global financial institutions. Your contribution will help deliver high-impact solutions in technology operations – vendor governance and commercial management at enterprise scale, built on best-practice standards.
You'll step in as a Vendor Manager, working closely with Procurement, Finance, Risk functions, and senior technology and business stakeholders to ensure the smooth operation of the Vendor Management Office (VMO). Your role will be central to delivering consistent vendor governance, performance management, and strong contract outcomes throughout the entire vendor lifecycle – from selection through to renewal or exit – not just execution.
What you'll be doing
  • Maintaining reports and MI to support vendor contract and renewal planning; managing the renewal pipeline with sufficient lead time to scrutinise, renegotiate, or make changes
  • Reviewing existing contracts to assess SLAs and T&Cs, ensuring vendor service meets requirements and contracts accurately represent GCIO's needs; facilitating contract approvals
  • Supporting Procurement with commercial negotiation, assessment, and deal structuring; providing third-party requirements to Procurement
  • Owning the administration of the vendor financial management process: raising purchase orders post-ITCM approvals, receipting goods and services, managing Third Party Spend (TPS) approval process, raising PSRs, and managing procurement workflows
  • Creating reports and dashboards for critical financial processes; updating forecasts and managing budget, funding, and workforce requirements; identifying process improvement opportunities
  • Analysing vendor performance against SLAs; arranging and facilitating vendor governance forums, ensuring materials are prepared and follow-up actions delivered
  • Overseeing Third-Party Engagement Management (TPEM) tasks, vendor performance tracking, and all associated risk management activities
  • Identifying contractual improvement areas and negotiating contract amendments with vendors; producing follow-up reporting and communications materials
  • Note: Detailed project information will be shared during the recruitment process.
    Joining this project you’ll become part of Mindbox – a tech-driven company where consulting, engineering, and talent meet to build meaningful digital solutions. We’ll back you up every step of the way, accelerate your development, and ensure your skills make a difference.
