A Procurement Manager in this role owns sourcing, vendor management and compliance for marketing and media category spend across the group. Day to day, the work involves running vendor selection and negotiation processes for marketing and media services (agencies, media buying, production, and related categories), managing supplier relationships and performance over time, and making sure every procurement activity complies with Al-Futtaim’s internal policies and applicable regulations. There’s a genuine risk management layer to the role too, since marketing spend can be significant and vendor arrangements need proper governance. It suits someone with procurement or category management experience, ideally with specific exposure to marketing, media or agency-related sourcing, who’s comfortable balancing commercial negotiation with strict compliance requirements. Al-Futtaim’s scale means marketing and media spend across the group is substantial, so the role rewards people who can manage vendor relationships strategically rather than purely transactionally. The appeal is category depth combined with genuine group-wide scope: this role gets to shape how marketing and media procurement is done across one of the region’s largest conglomerates, rather than for a single business unit. ## Requirements - Experience in procurement or category management, ideally in marketing, media or agency-related categories - Strong vendor negotiation and relationship management skills - Solid understanding of procurement compliance and risk management practices - Comfort managing significant category spend across multiple business units - Bachelor’s degree in business, procurement, or a related field - Experience with procurement systems and vendor performance tracking - Strong stakeholder management skills across marketing and business teams - Ability to balance commercial outcomes with policy and regulatory compliance ## Suggested Resume Keywords procurement management, category management, marketing procurement, media procurement, vendor negotiation, supplier relationship management, procurement compliance, risk management, strategic sourcing, agency management ## About Al-Futtaim Group [View full company profile](https://get9to5jobs.com/company/al-futtaim-group/)
