Team Overview
The Vendor Management team enables the organisation to work effectively with its external technology and service partners, ensuring vendor engagements are supported by the right processes, governance, data and controls. As our technology portfolio and third-party ecosystem grow, enablement is an increasingly important part of our remit.
This role will sit within Vendor Management and work closely with Project Enablement, creating a bridge between project demand and the commercial activities required to enable delivery. With a particular focus on TPIP access approvals and licensing requests, the role will provide a central point of coordination across Vendor Management, Project Enablement, Procurement, Legal and wider business stakeholders.
The role will improve visibility and flow across the approval process, helping teams anticipate demand, prioritise effectively and remove bottlenecks that could impact project delivery.
Responsibilities
Key responsibilities will include:
- Act as Point of Contact to collate and drive TPIP access approvals for external workforce (CWF / FAEs), managing requests from intake through to completion and providing clear ownership and visibility throughout the lifecycle.
- Maintain an accurate view of the request pipeline, including status, owners, dependencies, actions and target dates, providing clear updates and reporting to relevant stakeholders.
- Coordinate approval requests across Vendor Management, Project Enablement, Procurement, Legal, Finance, Security and other stakeholders, proactively following up and escalating blockers where required.
- Work closely with Project Enablement to understand upcoming demand and ensure vendor, contract and licensing activities are initiated at the appropriate stage of the project lifecycle.
- Coordinate approvals and associated record keeping across new contracts, amendments, licence changes, renewals and other commercial requests.
- Act as a knowledgeable first point of contact for the request process, helping stakeholders understand requirements, responsibilities and next steps.
- Develop and maintain guidance, templates and process documentation to create a clear and consistent experience for stakeholders.
- Identify recurring bottlenecks, trends and opportunities to simplify, standardise and improve processes, working with Vendor Management and Project Enablement to implement improvements.
- Ensure completed contracts, licences and approvals are accurately recorded and transitioned into ongoing vendor management processes.
- Take ownership of existing coordination activities as they transition into Vendor Management, helping establish a sustainable and scalable operating model.
