About the Role

We are looking for a highly analytical, structured, and execution-driven professional to support the delivery of marketing procurement requirements for a brand under Booking Holdings. This role combines project management, problem-solving, stakeholder management, and procurement coordination.

The successful candidate will work closely with Marketing stakeholders and the Global Marketing Procurement team to translate business requirements into actionable plans, manage multiple workstreams, and drive timely execution.

We are not necessarily looking for someone with extensive procurement experience. We are looking for someone who can bring structure to complex situations, identify problems early, recommend practical solutions, and take ownership of delivery.

Candidates with backgrounds in consulting and project management are encouraged to apply.

Key Responsibilities

Project Management & Delivery

  • Act as the central PMO and primary point of contact for marketing procurement requirements.
  • Translate business requirements into clear action plans, deliverables, ownership, and timelines.
  • Manage multiple procurement workstreams simultaneously, ensuring priorities, dependencies, and milestones are clearly defined.
  • Proactively identify bottlenecks, manage risks, and drive resolution of outstanding issues.
  • Coordinate with relevant teams to ensure timely decisions and delivery.
  • Maintain consolidated project trackers and provide clear, actionable progress updates.

Problem-Solving & Business Analysis

  • Work with senior stakeholders to understand business objectives, clarify ambiguous requirements, and challenge assumptions where appropriate.
  • Structure complex problems into manageable components and identify practical solutions.
  • Analyze commercial proposals, supplier information, costs, and operational data to support recommendations.
  • Evaluate alternative approaches based on business impact, cost, feasibility, and execution risk.
  • Identify opportunities to simplify processes, improve efficiency, and accelerate procurement delivery.
  • Present findings and recommendations clearly to stakeholders and the Global Marketing Procurement team.

Marketing Procurement & Sourcing Support

  • Coordinate sourcing activities across Media, Creative, Public Relations, Research, Production, Events, Influencer Marketing, and other marketing services.
  • Support supplier identification, RFQs/RFPs, commercial comparisons, supplier evaluations, and sourcing documentation.
  • Coordinate supplier onboarding, contract reviews, purchase requisitions, purchase orders, and other procurement requirements as needed.
  • Work closely with the Global Marketing Procurement team on strategic sourcing decisions, negotiations, and complex supplier matters.
  • Ensure relevant procurement policies, approval requirements, and processes are followed.

Stakeholder Management & Communication

  • Build effective working relationships with Marketing, Procurement, Finance, Legal, and external suppliers.
  • Facilitate discussions to clarify requirements, resolve issues, and drive alignment on next steps.
  • Communicate project progress, key risks, decisions required, and outstanding actions.
  • Manage competing stakeholder priorities and escalate issues with clear recommendations.
  • Prepare concise management updates, including progress against milestones, key challenges, and proposed actions.

Qualifications & Experience

Required

  • More than 8 years of relevant professional experience in management consulting, project management, procurement, transformation, or related fields.
  • Strong structured problem-solving skills, with the ability to break down ambiguous problems, analyze information, and develop actionable recommendations.
  • Proven project management experience, including managing multiple workstreams, stakeholders, deadlines, and dependencies.
  • Strong analytical skills, including proficiency in Excel and ability to interpret commercial or operational data.
  • Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the ability to summarize complex information clearly.
  • Strong stakeholder management skills, including the confidence to challenge assumptions and drive alignment.
  • Self-starter with a high level of ownership, adaptability, and attention to detail.
  • Ability to work independently in a fast-paced environment with changing priorities.
  • Professional working proficiency in English.

Preferred

  • Experience in consulting, PMO, transformation, procurement, or cross-functional business projects.
  • Exposure to marketing, advertising agencies, media, or other professional services.
  • Familiarity with sourcing activities, supplier evaluations, commercial negotiations, or contract management.
  • Experience working in multinational organizations or cross-functional teams.
  • Familiarity with procurement systems and processes.

What Success Looks Like

By the end of the six-month assignment, the successful candidate will have:

  • Established clear visibility and ownership of marketing procurement requirements.
  • Developed and maintained actionable plans, priorities, and timelines across active workstreams.
  • Driven timely execution of procurement activities, with minimal unnecessary escalation.
  • Identified and resolved project bottlenecks through structured problem-solving and proactive stakeholder engagement.
  • Delivered clear management reporting, including project progress, risks, and decisions required.
  • Reduced the operational and coordination workload of the Global Marketing Procurement team.
  • Identified practical opportunities to improve ways of working and procurement efficiency.

Scope & Decision-Making

  • The contractor will be empowered to independently manage project coordination, requirement clarification, stakeholder follow-ups, routine procurement activities, and project reporting within established policies.
  • The contractor is expected to proactively identify problems, develop recommendations, and propose solutions rather than solely escalate issues.
  • Strategic sourcing decisions, major commercial negotiations, supplier appointments, and procurement policy exceptions will remain subject to review and approval by the designated permanent Procurement team.

Contract Duration

This is a six-month contractor assignment supporting the execution of marketing procurement requirements in partnership with the Global Marketing Procurement team.

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
