The posting

RISE is on a mission to accelerate internet for the Philippines by providing excellent services and high-quality support to our business and wholesale partners. We focus on the efficiency of connectivity through initiatives like GetaFIX and Open Access Network, ensuring we maintain a benchmark for reliability and installation speed. Our culture is built on transparency and ownership, where team members are encouraged to exceed expectations and advance the country’s digital landscape together.

RISE is looking for a Head of Procurement with international experience to lead vendor strategy, sourcing, and supplier relationships as the company scales its network and enterprise services across the Philippines. This is a senior leadership role responsible for building and running a procurement function that keeps pace with a fast-growing telecom/infrastructure business, from network equipment and last-mile materials to enterprise software and vendor contracts.

You'll lead a team of 3 procurement staff, with a clear mandate to mature the function by building structure, capability, and process discipline as RISE accelerates its growth.

Duties & Responsibilities

  • Own end-to-end procurement strategy: sourcing, negotiation, contracting, and supplier performance management, partnering with Network Operations, Delivery, IT, and Finance & Admin to forecast procurement needs and align sourcing with business growth
  • Build and manage relationships with infrastructure, telecom, and technology vendors
  • Lead negotiations on pricing, terms, and SLAs to secure the best value without compromising quality or delivery timelines
  • Develop and maintain a vendor management framework, including performance scorecards, review cadences, and escalation paths
  • Evaluate and onboard new suppliers based on technical fit and commercial terms
  • Drive procurement automation and digitization by implementing and optimizing e-procurement platforms and purchase order/approval workflows
  • Manage procurement budgets and drive cost optimization across categories
  • Identify and mitigate supply chain risks, including equipment shortages, vendor concentration, and lead-time volatility
  • Coach, mentor, and grow the procurement team, establishing clear processes, role definitions, and career paths, and hiring to scale the function alongside business growth
  • Track infrastructure and telecom market trends, new vendors, and emerging technologies relevant to network buildout

Qualifications

  • Head of Procurement experience, or Senior Procurement Manager experience ready to step into a leadership role
  • Experience in infrastructure and/or telecom procurement or supply chain
  • Experience building vendor scorecards, formal SLAs, and regular supplier review cycles
  • Demonstrated experience negotiating vendor pricing, terms, and SLAs, and managing supplier performance
  • Working knowledge of procurement software/tools (e.g., e-procurement platforms, purchase order/approval workflows)
  • Experience building or maturing a procurement function, including coaching and developing a team
  • Procurement experience outside the Philippines is a plus
  • Experience procuring for network buildouts (fiber, wireless, data center equipment)
  • Existing relationships with telecom/infrastructure vendors in the Philippines or APAC region
  • Track record of scaling a procurement function from the ground up, including automation/digitization initiatives and team development
  • A tech-savvy, "geek" profile with genuine interest in the technology and infrastructure being sourced, not just contract management

Join the mission!

Be part of a growing mission-oriented business that requires new leaders who are proficient, proactive, and direct. Be rewarded with great colleagues, a supportive environment, a competitive salary, and a compensation package that includes HMO for you and your family. Flex time is offered for some roles and your teammates will be there to help as you further hone your skills and accomplish responsibilities. Make a difference and grow with us.

Why it works

3×

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.
