This is a rare opportunity for you to shape procurement strategy across the AMEA region, focusing on media, advertising, and marketing services. You will be at the heart of strategic sourcing, driving productivity, and ensuring seamless integration of procurement activities that directly impact top-line growth. The organisation offers a vibrant workplace culture with a strong commitment to employee well-being, professional development, and work-life balance. With excellent benefits including wellness classes, comprehensive medical coverage, and performance bonuses, this role is perfect for someone eager to make a meaningful difference while advancing their career within a purpose-driven environment.

What you'll do:

As the Regional Cycles and Procurement Manager Topline AMEA, you will play an instrumental role in shaping the future of procurement across diverse markets. Your day-to-day will involve collaborating closely with senior supply chain leaders to define category strategies that deliver measurable results. You will be responsible for orchestrating complex sourcing projects in media, advertising, and marketing services—leveraging your expertise to negotiate optimal terms while maintaining rigorous compliance standards. By connecting regional needs with local execution teams, you will ensure that every initiative is seamlessly integrated for maximum impact. Your ability to analyse spend data, develop productivity roadmaps, manage supplier relationships, and guide cross-functional teams will be essential in achieving ambitious business goals. This position offers you the chance to influence not only operational efficiency but also the broader strategic direction of procurement within a globally respected organisation.

  • Lead all aspects of strategic sourcing for topline categories such as media, advertising, and marketing services by conducting competitive biddings using both digital platforms and offline tools.
  • Negotiate commercial terms that align with organisational objectives including savings targets while safeguarding business interests through effective contract management.
  • Develop innovative productivity initiatives and establish a clear three-to-five-year roadmap for cost optimisation within indirect procurement categories.
  • Analyse category requirements, costs, and spending impacts to ensure alignment with advertising and promotional budgets across multiple markets.
  • Connect regional topline buyers with local teams to streamline processes, aggregate volume, and ensure seamless project integration throughout the AMEA region.
  • Build and implement procurement strategies using established methodologies such as ROCKET tools to drive long-term value creation.

  • Ensure strict adherence to internal procurement policies and procedures while supporting group-driven compliance initiatives such as Sedex or Ecovadis.
  • Guide local buyers regionally by sharing best practices and fostering collaboration without direct line management responsibilities.

Above all else, your dedication to compliance sets you apart as someone who can be relied upon to uphold the highest standards of integrity throughout every stage of the procurement process.

  • Approximately eight years of managerial experience in procurement with a strong focus on indirect categories such as media buying, advertising services, or marketing procurement.
  • Demonstrated success delivering significant productivity improvements in complex environments by engaging cross-functional teams in project delivery.
  • Exceptional project management skills enabling you to coordinate multiple priorities effectively while meeting tight deadlines.
  • Outstanding negotiation abilities allowing you to secure favourable commercial terms that support organisational objectives.
  • Fluency in both Indonesian and English (verbal and written) facilitating regular communication with leadership teams across diverse regions.
  • Excellent interpersonal skills enabling you to build trust-based relationships with stakeholders at all levels of the organisation.
  • Proven ability to work collaboratively within teams as well as independently when required by business needs.
