Overview
Senior Procurement Specialist Jobs in UAE at Lexin
Own the end-to-end execution of the procurement cycle from requisition through supplier selection, purchase order, delivery and invoice settlement so that the procurement function delivers on cost, compliance and continuity without daily escalation. This is a hands-on ownership role, as well as a support role: you will run the operational engine of procurement and support the Head of Procurement on category strategy, supplier development and commercial negotiation at group level.
Key responsibilities
Procure-to-pay execution
• Own the full cycle: Material Request, Purchase Requisition, RFQ, bid comparison, Purchase Order, delivery, supplier invoice, payment release, in line with the approved Procurement SOP and Delegation of Authority matrix.
• Issue and manage POs digitally, ensuring complete and accurate records for every transaction across all group entities.
• Perform three-way matching and resolve discrepancies with suppliers, warehouse and Finance before payment submission.
Sourcing & supplier management
• Run competitive RFQ processes: minimum three quotations for qualifying spend, structured bid comparison, documented award justification.
• Negotiate price, payment terms, lead times and Incoterms with additive manufacturers, traders and logistics providers.
• Build and maintain the Approved Supplier List: qualification, documentation (SDS, COA, TDS, REACH/regulatory status), performance scorecards and periodic re-evaluation.
• Track supplier OTIF, quality claims and non-conformities; drive corrective action.
Cost & market
• Deliver a measurable annual procurement savings target against baseline pricing.
• Monitor additive and base oil market movements (raw material indices, freight, surcharges, regional supply disruption) and flag price/availability risk with recommended actions.
• Support consolidation of pricing across suppliers and entities to leverage group volume.
Quality & Inspection
• Arrange and oversee third-party inspection at loading and discharge (SGS, Intertek, Bureau Veritas or equivalent) — nominate inspectors, agree scope and sampling, review COA against contractual specification, and manage quality or quantity claims arising from inspection findings.
Governance & reporting
• Maintain audit-ready procurement records and enforce segregation of duties.
• Produce monthly procurement reporting: spend by category and entity, savings realised, open PO ageing, supplier performance, inventory coverage.
• Contribute to continuous improvement of the Procurement SOP and ERP workflows.
