Tahaluf is rewriting the events playbook. Its purpose is transformational, its DNA digital, and its ambition unprecedented. Over the next 12 months Tahaluf will scale to further increase its lead as the largest B2B Live and On Demand Events organiser in Saudi Arabia: by SQM, Attendance, Colleagues and Revenue.

Building on the success of record-breaking tech event LEAP, which grew to be the world&rsquo;s largest tech event globally in terms of attendee numbers in just its second edition, and award-winning cyber-security event Black Hat, Tahaluf is bringing iconic Informa brands to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, including CPHI, Cityscape Global, which celebrated record-breaking participation at its debut Saudi edition in October.
Be part of an ambitious and highly committed team, who aren&rsquo;t afraid to push boundaries and disrupt the status quo.

Supplier Relationship Management: Manage day-to-day supplier performance against KPIs and SLAs, while driving consolidation and efficiency.</li><li>
Contract Lifecycle Management: Own the full lifecycle of contracts &mdash; drafting, negotiation, execution, and renewal &mdash; ensuring compliance, risk mitigation, and commercial advantage.</li><li>
RFP Leadership: Lead end-to-end RFP processes, from documentation design and tender management through to evaluation and negotiation.</li><li>
Stakeholder Management: Build strong, trust-based relationships with senior stakeholders in Marketing, Procurement, and Finance, ensuring alignment on budgets, supplier strategy, and commercial outcomes.</li><li>
Systems &amp; Governance: Ensure robust use of SAP and procurement processes, partnering with Legal, Compliance, and Data Protection to safeguard Tahaluf&rsquo;s interests.</li><li>
Global Leverage: Align with the Group Marketing Procurement Director (UK) to maximise the benefits of Informa&rsquo;s global MSAs and consolidated spend.</li><li>
Performance Reporting: Deliver regular reports on savings, supplier performance, and adoption of global MSAs.</li><li>
KPIs / Accountability: The primary KPI is to realise significant cost savings across Tahaluf&rsquo;s marketing procurement categories. Secondary measures include supplier performance and stakeholder satisfaction.</li><li>
Admin Oversight: May provide light supervision or direction to one procurement admin role (if assigned).</li></ul>
