*** Hybrid work - 50% presense at the office in Brussels is required ***
We are looking for a Junior IT Buyer / Sourcing Analyst to join our Global Technology & digital solutions (T&DS) Procurement team in Brussels, at the center of international technology sourcing and transformation.
This is a high-exposure role reporting into senior procurement leadership, where you will contribute to sourcing programs affecting more than 100 countries worldwide. You will actively support technology decisions that impact how tens of thousands of professionals work every day — from OEM's and core IT platforms to cloud infrastructure, cybersecurity tools, and business software.
This position is ideal for a high-potential professional with ~2 years of experience in procurement, sourcing, consulting, finance or operations who wants to accelerate into strategic IT sourcing, rather than remaining in purely operational purchasing roles.
You will collaborate daily with:
• Group CIO & Regional CIO leadership teams (RCIOs)
• Cybersecurity and infrastructure leaders
• Legal and compliance counsel validating contracts and regulatory exposures
• Finance teams driving investment business cases
• Transformation leads running major digital programs
• Tier-1 global technology vendors
The role offers a front-row seat to how major technology investments are shaped, negotiated, and deployed at scale—and the opportunity to grow quickly into a recognized sourcing professional.
Key Responsibilities
Sourcing & Commercial Support
* Support global sourcing projects from market research through RFP award and contract signature
* Help prepare RFIs, RFPs, commercial bid packs, and business cases for executive steering committees
* Perform pricing analysis, vendor benchmarking, and Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) modeling
* Support commercial negotiations alongside senior procurement leaders and legal counsel
* Consolidate global vendor proposals into recommendation decks used for CIO/Leadership decision boards
Vendor & Stakeholder Management
* Act as a day-to-day interface with leading IT suppliers (hardware manufacturers, SaaS providers, cloud and cybersecurity vendors)
* Coordinate with internal teams:
IT and Technology delivery teams on solution requirements
Legal counsel on contracting, risk exposure and compliance clauses
Finance on budgeting, ROI and capex / opex structuring
Cybersecurity on security validation of suppliers
Support ongoing supplier governance: KPIs, quarterly business reviews, compliance checks, and performance tracking
Contract & Procurement Operations
* Assist in drafting, reviewing and managing:
* Technology contracts
* Amendments and renewals
* Pricing schedules and commercial appendices
* Maintain accurate procurement documentation in procurement and CLM systems
* Ensure sourcing processes comply with internal governance frameworks
Data, Reporting & Tools
* Build and maintain global sourcing dashboards and leadership reporting
* Support spend analysis, category management reporting and savings tracking
* Use professional sourcing tools including:
* ServiceNow
* ERP platforms
* Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) tools
* Contribute to data packs used in board-level sourcing updates
Key Requirements
* 1–3 years experience in procurement, sourcing, consulting, supply chain, finance, business analysis or IT operations
* Any hands-on exposure to:
Technology purchasing
Vendor negotiations
SaaS/cloud contracting
or IT project support
is a strong advantage
* Bachelor's or Master's degree in Business Administration, Supply Chain / Procurement, Economics / Finance, Engineering or IT Management
Key Skills
Analytical thinker with strong Excel and PowerPoint capabilities
Ability to structure complex data into clear, executive-ready insights
Professional communicator comfortable with both technical and business stakeholders
Well-organized, precise, and reliable
Curious mindset and appetite to learn new technology landscapes rapidly
* English and French – professional working proficiency (mandatory)
* Additional European languages are a plus
What Makes This Role Unique
Not an admin buyer role — a real strategic learning platform
Unlike traditional junior purchasing jobs focused on order processing, this role offers exposure to real technology sourcing strategy, commercial negotiations, and leadership decision making.
You will learn:
* How CIOs and procurement leaders evaluate enterprise technology platforms
* How global RFPs are structured and run
* How contracts in SaaS, cloud, and cybersecurity really work
* How price negotiations at multi-million-euro scale are conducted
* How suppliers are governed after contract signature.
