At Malt we believe that Ambition is the Way, so all lists of missions and responsibilities are non-exhaustive.

As our new Senior Procurement Expert, you will join the Finance & Performance department. Based in our Paris office, your mission is to design and execute our global purchasing strategy to optimize spend and mitigate vendor risk. You will play a pivotal role in transitioning Malt from reactive buying to a proactive, value-driven procurement culture that supports our rapid international scaling.
  • Spend Analysis & Savings:  Conduct a deep dive into historical spend to identify high-impact categories and "low-hanging fruit" for immediate negotiation.
  • Policy Creation:  Draft and implement a clear, user-friendly Purchasing Policy that defines approval workflows and spending thresholds.Implement this policy within our P2P tools (Pivot) and make sure the new rules do not add unnecessary bureaucracy. 

  • Strategic Sourcing:  Lead end-to-end RFPs (Request for Proposals) for major contracts, ensuring competitive bidding and favorable SLAs.

  • Contract Management:  Act as the primary gatekeeper for legal and financial terms in vendor contracts, working closely with the Legal & Operational teams to minimize liability.

  • Stakeholder Management:  Act as a business partner to department heads (Marketing, HR, Tech) to help them get the best value for their budgets.

  • Experience: Minimum of 7-10+ years of progressive experience in a general Procurement role, ideally within an international scale-up, marketplace, or SaaS environment.

  • Technical Skills: Proven track record in running and improving P2P tools (e.g., Zip, Coupa, Pivot); proficiency in Pivot is a strong plus.

  • Analytical Mindset: Strong ability to turn messy data into actionable insights using Excel/SQL and data visualization tools.

  • Languages: English and French on a native level to navigate both local French labor-related spend and global tech vendor negotiations.

  • Soft Skills: A "builder" mindset with the assertiveness to enforce policies and the emotional intelligence to maintain strong partner relationships.

  • First call: Initial screening with our Talent Acquisition Manager.

  • Hiring Manager Interview: Meet Edith S., Head of Finance & Performance, to discuss the role's vision.

  • Case Study/Technical Interview: Present your analytical and negotiation approach.

  • Final Round: Meet with Benoît Charpentier (Scorecard Owner) and other key stakeholders
