Procurement Lead

What this job involves:

As a Procurement Lead at JLL, you'll serve as a strategic advisor and operational leader for a prestigious client, driving procurement excellence across their real estate and facilities portfolio. This role puts you at the center of high-impact decision-making, where you'll develop and execute category strategies, negotiate complex supplier agreements, and build strong relationships with both internal stakeholders and external partners. At JLL, we are collectively shaping a brighter way—for our clients, ourselves and our fellow employees—and this position embodies that commitment by transforming procurement from a transactional function into a value-driven competitive advantage. You'll lead strategic sourcing initiatives, manage supplier performance, identify cost optimization opportunities, and ensure compliance with procurement policies and industry best practices. We embrace more innovative ways of working and prioritize opportunities to strengthen and advance your career, which means you'll have the autonomy to challenge conventions, implement creative solutions, and continuously evolve procurement processes that deliver measurable business outcomes. This is a role for someone who combines analytical rigor with relationship-building skills, thrives in a client-facing environment, and understands that procurement leadership extends far beyond cost savings to encompass risk management, sustainability, quality assurance, and operational resilience.

• Build and nurture relationships with key stakeholders across the client organization, serving as a trusted advisor on procurement matters and translating business requirements into effective sourcing strategies
• Manage a portfolio of supplier relationships, conducting regular business reviews, tracking KPIs, resolving performance issues, and ensuring contract compliance throughout the supplier lifecycle
• Analyze spend data and market intelligence to identify cost savings opportunities, negotiate favorable terms and pricing structures, and implement initiatives that deliver tangible financial impact
• Collaborate with legal, finance, risk management, and operations teams to ensure procurement activities align with organizational policies, regulatory requirements, and risk mitigation strategies
• Champion sustainability and social value initiatives within the supply chain, working with suppliers to advance ESG goals and promote responsible procurement practices
• Prepare executive-level reports and presentations that communicate procurement performance, savings achievements, market insights, and strategic recommendations to senior leadership

Required qualifications:

• Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills, with experience presenting to and influencing senior executives and cross-functional teams
• Deep understanding of procurement best practices, compliance requirements, risk management principles, and emerging trends in supply chain management
• Proficiency with procurement systems, e-sourcing platforms, contract management tools, and advanced Microsoft Excel and data visualization software

Preferred qualifications:
