About the Job

Based in Barcelona and part of Allianz Technology SL, you will proactively and independently own the vendor management lifecycle across key suppliers-ensuring value for money, performance, compliance, and risk control. Acting as the day-to-day owner of the role, you will drive onboarding, contract and change management, performance reviews, issue/escalation handling, and continuous optimization of our vendor landscape in alignment with procurement, legal, security, and technology standards.

You will partner with Procurement, Legal, Security, Risk, Finance, Technology, and People & Culture to maintain a data-driven, risk-informed view of third parties, support RFPs and renewals, and ensure SLAs/OLAs and KPIs are defined, measured, and improved. This role is ideal for a proactive professional with 2 years of experience who takes initiative and "runs with the role" with minimal supervision.

What you do

• Manage the end-to-end vendor lifecycle: segmentation, onboarding, due diligence, contracting, renewals, and offboarding.
• Maintain contracts, SLAs/OLAs, KPIs, and change controls; track obligations, variations, and service credits/penalties.
• Run regular performance and service review forums with suppliers; document actions and drive remediation to closure.
• Coordinate third-party risk assessments and resilience requirements (e.g., DORA-aligned controls) with Security and Risk Management.
• Support sourcing events (RFI/RFP), cost optimization, and benchmarking; prepare business cases and negotiation materials.
• Monitor spend, forecast, and benefits realization in partnership with Finance; ensure transparency and audit-ready records.
• Collaborate with Technology, People & Culture, Procurement, and Legal to resolve issues, manage escalations, and optimize delivery.

What you bring

• 3 years of experience in vendor management, supplier relationship management, procurement, or category management within technology.
• Proactive, self-starter mindset with strong ownership; able to work independently and "run with the role" with minimal supervision.
• Working knowledge of contracts and negotiations, SLAs/OLAs, KPIs, and change/issue management.
• Awareness of third-party risk and resilience practices (e.g., DORA, ISO 27001); experience supporting due diligence and controls.
• Strong analytical and reporting skills; proficiency with Excel and familiarity with tools such as SAP Ariba/Coupa, ServiceNow (VRM), Jira, and Power BI/Tableau.
• Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills in cross-functional, international environments; fluency in English and Spanish.
• Basic knowledge of AI technologies, principles, and their practical use.

What we offer

• We offer a hybrid work model which recognizes the value of striking a balance between in-person collaboration and remote working incl. up to 25 days per year working from abroad.
• We believe in rewarding performance and our compensation and benefits package includes a company bonus scheme, pension, employee shares program and multiple employee discounts (details vary by location).
• From career development and digital learning programs to international career mobility, we offer lifelong learning for our employees worldwide and an environment where innovation, delivery and empowerment are fostered.
• Flexible working, health and wellbeing offers (including healthcare and parental leave benefits) support to balance family and career and help our people return from career breaks with experience that nothing else can teach.
