Marketing Operations Specialist

Job Description:

We're looking for a Marketing Procurement & Vendor Operations Specialist to own everything vendor, contract and purchase order related across our global marketing function - and to automate as much of it as possible.

You'll work closely with marketing leads and cross functional partners in Finance, Legal & Security to make sure every vendor we work with is onboarded quickly, contracted properly and paid on time, at global scale.

Key Responsibilities

Own vendor onboarding, from initial request through contracting to a raised purchase order, with clear SLAs agreed with each function involved.

Automate purchase order creation wherever possible, and raise all marketing POs coded correctly to cost centre, budget and period.

Administer and centralise all NDAs, DPAs and commercial contracts for marketing, initiating, tracking, chasing, routing for signature and filing.

Maintain a global audit of engaged vendors.

Work with the partnerships team to create accurate MDF request and reporting processes.

Ensure every step and approval is documented and auditable, with the correct approver captured before any contract goes to signature.

Ensure monthly marketing budget is captured & tracked

Receipt invoices and resolve PO and invoice queries directly with Accounts Payable and vendors, keeping month end close clean.

Manage software and subscription renewals, starting conversations early enough to have leverage, and surfacing duplicate or unused tooling.

Act as the connective point between Marketing and Finance, Legal, Security and Procurement, taking that burden off marketing leads.

Build automation into all of the above: intake, approval routing, reminders, register updates and reporting and report on cycle time, contract coverage and the renewal pipeline.

About You

3 - 5 years in procurement, vendor management, marketing operations, legal operations or finance operations, ideally in B2B tech or another high growth environment.

A demonstrable habit of automating your own work: workflow tools (Zapier, Make, Power Automate, n8n), Apps Script, Python or SQL, API integrations, or Airtable and Notion databases with real logic in them. Side projects count in full.

Highly organised across many parallel threads, with a strong instinct for documentation and audit trails.

Experience working across multiple regions, time zones and legal entities.

A systems mindset with a bias toward clarity, efficiency, and measurable impact.

We'd love you to tell us about something you've built or automated as part of your application. A hobby project is just as interesting to us as a work one.
