Procurement Manager/ Facilities Management - Spanish & English

This is an opportunity to build something from the ground up rather than inherit an existing supplier base. You'll take ownership of the Facilities Management sourcing programme for a 400-site portfolio across Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, Argentina and Chile, establishing the baseline, developing the sourcing strategy and leading procurement events from start to finish.

Working as part of a small, senior team, you'll have real autonomy, clear commercial objectives and direct ownership of delivering measurable savings. The role combines strategic procurement with hands-on execution, requiring close collaboration with regional stakeholders while using AI tools as part of your day-to-day workflow to improve analysis, documentation and delivery.

If you have strong FM procurement experience across Latin America and enjoy creating structure, driving supplier performance and delivering tangible commercial results, this is an opportunity to make a significant impact from day one. 

The company is currently preparing for its first market launch and is looking for a Procurement Manager/ Facilities Management to play a hands-on contract role for someone strong in FM procurement, supplier data, stakeholder coordination and bilingual English/Spanish communication.
