Now we are looking for a proactive, sharp, and business-savvy Partner Procurement Lead to own and optimize our external partner and vendor agreement lifecycles. In this role, you will become the ultimate driving force behind onboarding new data and technology partners, streamlining legal coordination, and leading commercial negotiations. If you know how to build efficient processes, speak the same language as legal teams, and confidently secure the best terms with global vendors, we’d love to have you on board!

What You Will Be Doing:

• Lead end-to-end procurement processes for both new and existing Data and Technology partners globally.
• Coordinate initial reviews of legal documentation(NDAs, DPAs, MSAs) and manage smooth, timely communication with internal Legal and Data Protection teams.
• Drive commercial negotiations and agreement renewals to secure optimal pricing, SLAs, and contract terms.
• Act as the primary operational bridge between internal teams and external vendors, ensuring frictionless onboarding and alignment.
• Own and maintain a centralized repository of all partner-related legal, compliance, and commercial documents, keeping everything organized and up to date.

About You:

• Proven professional experience in procurement, vendor relationship management, or commercial operations within a fast-paced B2B tech environment.
• Strong commercial mindset with a track record of handling negotiations, optimizing costs, and evaluating vendor offerings.
• Excellent legal literacy — you understand contract structures, know what to look for in service agreements, and can efficiently translate business needs into legal requirements.
• Fluency in English (C2 level) with exceptional communication and stakeholder management skills.
• High level of independence and proactiveness — you are comfortable taking full ownership of processes and driving them to the finish line.
• Sharp attention to detail when working with complex documentation and multiple parallel workflows.

Nice to have:

• Prior procurement or vendor coordination experience specifically within the Fintech, RegTech, or Identity Verification industries.
• Experience working from the “buyer’s side” — evaluating and onboarding external infrastructure, software, or data providers.

What We Offer:

• Remote-first, trust-based culture. Work from the place that works best for you. No mandatory office days, no attendance trackers. In some locations, we provide offices or coworking spaces, but the choice is yours.
• True flexibility. We do not fix you to a 9-to-5 schedule. You can adjust your working hours when needed, as long as your day stays productive and in sync with the team.
• Extra time off. Your birthday is a holiday here. Add to that 10 personal days each year, seven sick days without paperwork, and extra time to enjoy Christmas and New Year. Time to rest is part of the deal.
• Work that matters. Our mission is to build a digital world that is secure, accessible and inclusive for everyone. From fighting fraud to making online services easier and safer to use, your work will have a real impact on how people experience trust online.
• Compensation. We offer fair and transparent pay, benchmarked to the market.
• Truly global. We work across continents and time zones, with teammates and customers from all over the world. You will run campaigns that cross borders, cultures, and languages, and see your ideas land worldwide.
