Description
About the Role
As a Sourcing Specialist II, you will support sourcing across the full Corporate Services portfolio for Deliveroo and Wolt. You will partner with the business to understand requirements, evaluate suppliers, negotiate commercial terms, and move agreements through to execution, balancing cost, quality, risk, and speed.
Your day to day will include managing fast moving, low risk sourcing engagements and supporting senior team members who serve as the Sourcing DRI on larger projects. Over time, you will take increasing ownership of sourcing projects of medium complexity, managing timelines, stakeholders, and agreed outcomes with growing independence.
Responsibilities
- Move low risk sourcing engagements forward quickly, coordinating requirements, supplier quotes, commercial reviews, and approvals.
- Support senior Sourcing DRIs on larger projects by owning defined workstreams, including supplier research, bid analysis, RFx documentation, and follow-up on actions and timelines.
- Take increasing end to end ownership of midsize sourcing projects, from requirements gathering through supplier selection, negotiation, contracting, and handover, with limited oversight as you build proficiency.
- Independently research markets and suppliers, prepare requests for information and proposals (RFIs/RFPs), evaluate responses, and present clear, data-backed recommendations.
- Analyze spend, benchmark pricing, and develop return on investment (ROI) and total cost of ownership (TCO) models to identify savings and support sourcing decisions.
- Negotiate pricing and commercial terms for low and medium complexity agreements, renewals, and amendments.
- Coordinate reviews of non-disclosure agreements, master service agreements, and statements of work with Legal and other reviewers; ensure agreed scope, pricing, deliverables, and service levels are documented.
- Guide stakeholders through sourcing and contracting processes, keeping projects moving and resolving issues promptly.
- Track project delivery, savings, contract milestones, and renewals against agreed goals, and proactively communicate progress, risks, and next steps.
- Support supplier performance reviews and risk assessments, escalating issues and coordinating follow-up with the right teams.
- Work with Category Leads and colleagues across brands to support category plans and identify opportunities to combine demand or use preferred suppliers.
- Improve templates, reporting, and workflows, apply AI tools effectively to sourcing tasks, and share knowledge and practical guidance with peers.
- Learn from experienced sourcing colleagues through hands-on coaching, exposure to varied categories, and increasing responsibility for sourcing projects.
Requirements
- Have 1–3 years of experience in sourcing, procurement, category management, or a related commercial or operations role with supplier or contract exposure.
- Can build and analyze total cost of ownership (TCO) models, commercial value comparisons, and spend models to support sourcing decisions.
- Bring strong analytical skills, a collaborative approach, and curiosity about sourcing, procurement, contracting, and commercial negotiation.
- Communicate clearly and build trust with stakeholders.
- Are organized, attentive to detail, and able to manage several projects and deadlines while keeping others informed.
- Take ownership of requests, follow through without repeated prompting, and distinguish what you can resolve independently from what needs escalation.
- Exercise sound judgment and take a practical approach to solving problems in a dynamic environment.
- Bring a customer-focused approach to solving problems and supporting the business.
- Are comfortable collaborating across countries and time zones.
- Can use AI tools effectively to improve the speed and quality of analysis and sourcing work, and are committed to continuing to learn.
