At Chain IQ, your ideas move fast.
Chain IQ is a global AI-driven Procurement Service Partner, headquartered in Baar, Switzerland, with operations across main centers and 16 offices worldwide. We provide tailored, end-to-end procurement solutions that enable transformation, drive scalability, and deliver substantial reductions in our clients' indirect spend. Our culture is built on innovation, entrepreneurship, ownership, and impact. Here, your voice matters - bold thinking is encouraged, and action follows ambition.
Role Purpose
We are looking for an organised, curious and motivated early-career professional to join the UK Regional Sourcing Team, supporting Real Estate and Facilities Management procurement activity in a global client-facing environment.
This is an operationally focused role with a clear development pathway. The successful candidate will provide structured administrative, compliance, reporting and process support across the procurement lifecycle, helping the team deliver high-quality sourcing outcomes while learning how professional procurement operates from the ground up.
The role sits within a highly regulated client environment, where accuracy, governance, documentation and stakeholder coordination are essential. It is ideal for someone who may have limited procurement experience but is keen to build expertise, take ownership of repeatable processes and grow into a more senior operational sourcing role over time.
What You Will Do
The role provides dependable operational support across category activity, procurement administration, systems management, reporting and stakeholder coordination. While structured and process-led, it offers strong exposure to sourcing activity, commercial decision-making and client delivery.
Procurement Administration & Compliance
- Carry out supplier risk checks and compliance activities in line with agreed processes and governance requirements.
- Support the preparation of contract documentation for signature and manage contract uploads into Coupa, with full training provided.
- Maintain accurate records, trackers, documentation and shared-drive folders across the procurement lifecycle.
- Generate, maintain and update documentation in accordance with internal methodologies, work instructions and client requirements.
- Help identify, record and monitor project risks, escalating issues early and supporting agreed mitigation actions.
