Role Summary

We are hiring a Procurement Analyst to lead and execute sourcing for outsourced IT services, with a strong emphasis on cloud security and infrastructure procurement. This role is highly hands-on and will partner closely with IT and Information Security teams to evaluate vendors, negotiate commercial terms, and ensure reliable service delivery.

This position will support a fast-moving, high-ownership environment and requires someone who can manage sourcing workstreams end-to-end—not just procurement operations.

Key Responsibilities

• Own procurement for IT outsourcing categories, including:
• Infrastructure / Data center related services
• Network and connectivity services
• IT operations / managed services
• Cybersecurity services
• Lead RFQs/RFPs, vendor shortlisting, proposal analysis, commercial comparison, negotiation, award recommendations, and rollout.
• Evaluate vendor service scope, SLA terms, and pricing structures (rate cards, tiered pricing, usage-based billing, managed service bundles, etc.).
• Partner with IT and InfoSec stakeholders to validate technical requirements and balance cost vs security/stability/service performance.
• Negotiate and manage contracts, renewals, and supplier performance with measurable outcomes (cost, compliance, risk, quality).
• Maintain high-quality documentation for approvals, audits, internal controls, and procurement governance.
• Track procurement KPIs (savings, lead times, SLA performance, contract adherence) and provide reporting insights to stakeholders.
• Conduct market research and benchmarking to identify pricing trends, risks, and cost optimization opportunities.
• Drive process improvements to improve procurement efficiency and scalability as ABFinance grows.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain Management, Business Administration, or a related field.
• 5+ years of procurement/sourcing experience, including 2+ years in strategic sourcing or senior-level procurement execution.
• Demonstrated understanding of outsourced technical services procurement, including:
• Infra services
• Network services
• Managed IT operations / service desk / tech center support
• Cybersecurity services
• Strong ability to review and negotiate contracts, including service scope/SOW, SLAs, commercial terms, and pricing models.
• Proven end-to-end sourcing execution capability: sourcing, vendor comparison, negotiation, cost analysis, award recommendation, and implementation.
• Strong communication skills and ability to work effectively with technical stakeholders (IT/Infosec/Engineering), Legal, Finance, and Operations.
• Proficiency in Excel and familiarity with procurement systems/ERP tools.
• Candidates must have prior experience supporting procurement for cloud security and/or security infrastructure, such as:
• Cloud security tools or managed security services (e.g., SOC/MSSP, Zero Trust/SASE, IAM/PAM, SIEM/logging, endpoint security)
• Security-related infrastructure services and vendor contracts tied to cloud environments

Preferred Qualifications

• Procurement exposure to cloud services (AWS / Azure / GCP), including consumption-based billing, commitments, and service-level considerations.
• Experience sourcing cloud server, infrastructure, security, or AI-related products/services.
• Experience working in technology, fintech, cloud, or other regulated environments.
• Fluency in both English and Mandarin is strongly preferred to support cross-region stakeholders and suppliers.

Location/Work Setup

• This role is primarily remote.
• Candidates should be located in or able to operate primarily within US or Asia-Pacific time zones.
