THE OPPORTUNITY

Help shape how BCI engages with vendors and delivers solutions across the business. This is a newly created role and an opportunity to build a modern procurement function that delivers measurable business impact.

As a Procurement Delivery Lead, you'll be the trusted point of contact guiding vendor and application intake requests from start to finish, bringing together stakeholders across legal, cyber, privacy, technology, and the business.

This role is about relationships, communication, and influence. We're looking for someone who can build credibility quickly, navigate competing priorities, and keep complex initiatives moving forward through collaboration.

Procurement experience is welcome, but you don't need to know procurement inside and out. Whether your background is in procurement, account management, client services, program delivery, or operations, you'll thrive if you enjoy working with people, solving problems, and turning complexity into progress.

WHO YOU WILL WORK WITH

Reporting to the Director, Procurement, you'll join BCI's Finance department, which leads investment and corporate accounting, valuations, financial reporting, budgeting, tax, and procurement. Within Finance, Procurement sources, contracts, and manages the vendors, software, services, and goods BCI relies on, spanning strategic sourcing, vendor and contract management, and procurement operations.

The team is evolving on purpose, building the capability, credibility, and tools to be a strategic partner to the business from the start. At the centre of that shift is a redesigned, firm-wide intake process that Procurement now owns end to end. Every request gets a single front door and one accountable owner from intake to signature.

You'll work closely with business requestors and with Legal, Cyber, Privacy, and Technology, and you'll be the main contact for vendors from intake through contract. You'll be the face of BCI's intake process to vendors, and the calm, organized presence that business teams and specialist reviewers know they can count on.
