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 professional to join the UK Regional Sourcing Team, supporting Real Estate and Facilities Management procurement in a global, client-facing environment.
This is an operationally focused role with a clear development pathway, providing structured support across procurement administration, compliance, systems, reporting, data and sourcing activities. You will help the team deliver high-quality sourcing outcomes while building hands-on procurement expertise from the ground up.
Working in a highly regulated client environment, you will take ownership of repeatable processes where accuracy, governance, documentation and stakeholder coordination are critical, while progressively gaining exposure to supplier engagement, commercial decision-making and end-to-end sourcing.
Responsibilities
- Perform supplier risk checks and compliance activities, prepare contract documentation for signature, manage contract uploads in Coupa, and maintain accurate procurement records, trackers and documentation.
- Build strong knowledge of Coupa, KPMG JPPM, work instructions and procurement workflows, becoming a reliable point of support for contract and administrative processes.
- Take ownership of repeatable operational processes, identifying opportunities to improve accuracy, efficiency and process consistency and reduce unnecessary administrative workload.
- Prepare PowerPoint presentations, trackers and status updates for internal reviews, client meetings and sourcing activities, ensuring deadlines, priorities and risks remain visible.
- Support defined sourcing work packages from initiation through completion and handover, coordinating with client stakeholders, internal teams and third-party providers.
- Support market research, supplier engagement, tenders, evaluation preparation and contract administration, taking on greater sourcing responsibility as experience develops.
- Help develop structured project approaches tailored to client requirements and gain exposure to how sourcing and category strategies are developed and implemented.
- Identify, document and monitor project risks, escalating issues early and supporting agreed mitigation actions.
- Develop progressively into a broader operational sourcing role, building expertise in procurement systems, contract workflows, compliance, supplier engagement, reporting, stakeholder coordination and client delivery.
