Job Details
We are looking for an experienced and commercially driven Strategic Procurement & Supplier Partnership Manager to help us build long-term supplier agreements for a large-scale real estate development pipeline.
Over the next two years, we have a forecast of approximately 10,000 apartments to be delivered. This gives us a strong purchasing position in the market and creates an opportunity to secure direct agreements with manufacturers, distributors and key suppliers across multiple construction and fit-out categories.
Our goal is not only to purchase materials for our own projects, but also to use this purchasing power to create better pricing structures for subcontractors, contractors and construction partners. By securing competitive prices directly from manufacturers, we want to become a valuable procurement partner within the construction and real estate supply chain.
The role
In this position, you will be responsible for identifying, approaching, negotiating and securing strategic supplier agreements with manufacturers and major suppliers. You will work closely with our BOQ, quantity surveying, technical and project teams to understand the required materials, volumes, specifications and delivery planning.
You will help us convert our project forecast into strong commercial agreements that provide better pricing, reliable supply, consistent quality and long-term value.
Key responsibilities
- Identify suitable manufacturers, distributors and suppliers for construction and fit-out materials.
- Negotiate framework agreements, volume discounts and preferred supplier arrangements.
- Use our forecast of 10,000 apartments to secure highly competitive pricing.
- Build supplier partnerships that can benefit contractors, subcontractors and project partners.
- Work with BOQ and technical teams to understand quantities, specifications and material requirements.
- Compare supplier offers based on price, quality, lead time, payment terms, warranty and service levels.
- Support the creation of supplier contracts, pricing agreements and procurement structures.
- Develop alternative supplier options to reduce risk and improve negotiation power.
- Monitor supplier performance, pricing validity, delivery commitments and commercial terms.
- Help create a scalable procurement model for large-volume residential developments.
