Procurement Manager

Location: Hybrid position in Sao Paulo (Av Paulista)

Employment Type: Full-time 

‍

Job Summary

The ideal Procurement Manager will bring experience in iGaming, fintech, services, and tools implementation, with the added advantage of having previously developed projects or processes from the ground up. The role involves working in an evolving environment where foundational structures and tools (such as Asana) may still need to be established. Candidates who require highly predefined processes or a fully structured framework may find this setting less suitable.

Key Responsibilities 

1. Structure and optimize the strategic procurement process:
   Develop and implement procurement policies that ensure efficiency, regulatory compliance (B3, Central Bank, LGPD), and cost control across all company purchases.
2. Negotiate contracts with key vendors:

Lead negotiations with technology, marketing, KYC, payment, and operations suppliers to maximize value, minimize contractual risks, and secure SLAs aligned with business goals.

3. Manage the full vendor lifecycle:

Build and maintain a supplier performance management system to ensure reliability, quality, and risk mitigation across all critical partnerships.

4. Ensure compliance with Brazilian regulations and internal policies: 

Oversee procurement activities to guarantee full adherence to local laws, tax requirements, and corporate governance standards, maintaining transparent and auditable processes.

5. Reduce costs and optimize operational budgets:  

Partner with Finance and Operations teams to identify cost-saving opportunities and design sourcing strategies that balance cost, quality, and delivery speed

Requirements
