Spend Analysis · Edtech

About this task

This edtech company for adult learners (5,000+ employees) is looking for a director Procurement & Vendor Manager for a single piece of work with a fixed scope and a fixed price. Groups spend by supplier and category and finds savings.

The work is too small to justify a hire and too important to leave to chance. It works in education, with a calendar built around terms and enrolment peaks.

The work is fully remote and open to anyone living in an EU country; the team itself works from Sweden. Evenings or weekends are fine, as long as the agreed weekly output is there. About 1 hour a week should overlap with the team's day (CET).

What you deliver

• Analyse a year of spend by category and supplier and list the five largest savings opportunities.
• One round of edits after the company's review is included
• The finished deliverable in the agreed file format, with sources and assumptions listed
• A 20-minute walkthrough call, or a recorded screen share if you prefer

How the work runs

• Day 1: kickoff call and access to the files
• Days 2 to 8: the work, with questions answered the same day
• Last day: delivery and a short walkthrough

Duration: 2 to 3 weeks. Accepted when the company contact confirms the deliverable against the written checklist. One round of edits is included.
