 Purpose of the Role
 
 
 
 
 
 
 The Vendor &amp; Procurement Manager will own the end-to-end lifecycle of Veremark&rsquo;s third-party data provider relationships across all markets. This is a hands-on, commercially-minded role that sits at the intersection of operations, compliance, and commercial strategy. You will be responsible for selecting the right vendors, negotiating the best terms, ensuring they meet our compliance and data protection standards, and holding them accountable to performance expectations.
 
 
 
 
 
 You will work closely with the Operations, Product, Technology, Compliance, and Commercial teams to ensure that our vendor ecosystem supports Veremark&rsquo;s growth ambitions while maintaining the quality and integrity that our clients expect.

 Vendor Strategy &amp; Selection
 
 
 <ul>
 <li>
 Develop and maintain Veremark&rsquo;s global vendor strategy, ensuring we have the right data providers in place across all markets and check types (criminal, education, employment, credit, identity, right-to-work, sanctions, and others).
 </li>
 <li>
 Lead the vendor analysis and selection process for new markets, new check types, and replacement of underperforming providers. This includes market scanning, RFP/RFI management, capability assessment, commercial evaluation, and due diligence.
 </li>
 <li>
 Build and maintain a vendor landscape map covering all geographies and check types, identifying gaps, risks, single points of failure, and opportunities for consolidation or diversification.
 </li>
 <li>
 Create and maintain a vendor classification matrix to rank vendors based on check volume, fulfillment complexity and annual spend. Assign a rank (or tier) to all current and future vendors.
 </li>
 <li>

 </li>
 </ul>

 <ul>
 <li>
 Negotiate pricing, payment terms, volume commitments, SLAs, and contractual terms with all third-party data providers. Drive cost reduction without compromising quality or turnaround times.
 </li>
 <li>
 Own the vendor cost base and work with Finance to model unit economics, pass-through costs, and the impact of vendor pricing on Veremark&rsquo;s blended gross margin.
 </li>
 <li>
 Identify and execute opportunities to consolidate spend, leverage volume across geographies, and renegotiate terms as Veremark&rsquo;s scale increases.
 </li>
 <li>
 Manage contract renewals proactively &mdash; never let a contract auto-renew without a commercial review.
 </li>
 <li>
 Benchmark vendor pricing against market alternatives on a regular cycle (at least annually for Tier 1 vendors).
 </li>
 </ul>
 
 
 
 
 
 Compliance, Governance &amp; Risk Management

 <li>
 Ensure all vendors meet Veremark&rsquo;s compliance standards, including data protection (GDPR, PDPL, PDPA, and other applicable data privacy regulations), information security (ISO 27001 or equivalent), anti-bribery, sanctions screening, and modern slavery requirements.
 </li>
 <li>
 Develop and maintain the vendor governance framework, including onboarding checklists, periodic compliance reviews, risk assessments, and exit procedures.
 </li>
 <li>
 Own the vendor risk register. Identify, assess, and mitigate risks related to vendor concentration, data handling, jurisdictional compliance, business continuity, and financial stability.
 </li>
 <li>
 Work with the Compliance and Legal teams to ensure all vendor contracts include appropriate data processing agreements (DPAs), confidentiality provisions, audit rights, breach notification obligations, and termination clauses.
 </li>
 <li>
 Manage vendor audits &mdash; both conducting audits of our vendors and supporting client-side audits where Veremark&rsquo;s vendor arrangements are in scope.
 </li>
 <li>
 Ensure compliance with data residency requirements in regulated markets (e.g., Saudi Arabia PDPL, UAE data protection, Singapore PDPA) and work with Technology to ensure data flows through approved infrastructure.
 </li>
 </ul>
 
 
 
 
 
 Performance Management &amp; SLA Monitoring
 
 
 <ul>
 <li>
 Define and implement a vendor performance management framework with clear KPIs covering turnaround time, accuracy, uptime/availability, error rates, escalation responsiveness, and client-impacting incidents.
 </li>
 <li>
 Establish and monitor SLAs for all Tier 1 and Tier 2 vendors. Hold vendors accountable through regular performance reviews (quarterly for Tier 1, semi-annually for Tier 2).
 </li>
 <li>
 Build dashboards and reporting to give Operations and Leadership visibility into vendor performance trends, cost trends, and risk indicators.
 </li>
 <li>
 Manage escalations when vendors fail to meet SLAs or quality standards. Drive root cause analysis and corrective action plans.
 </li>
 <li>
 Develop a vendor scorecard system that feeds into contract renewal and renegotiation decisions.
 </li>
 </ul>
 
 
 
 
 
 Relationship Management &amp; Operational Coordination

 Act as Veremark&rsquo;s primary point of contact for all strategic vendor relationships. Build strong, professional relationships with vendor account managers and leadership.
