What You'll Do:

At Criteo, we connect 1.5 billion active shoppers with the things they need and love. Our technology takes an algorithmic approach to predict what user we show an ad to, when, and for what products. We operate at massive scale, in a fast-moving environment where technology, transformation and business impact go hand in hand.

As Criteo continues to transform, Procurement plays an important role in enabling performance, supporting business teams, and bringing the right balance of value, efficiency and risk management across key spend areas.

The opportunity

We are looking for a Senior IT Buyer to join our Global Procurement team and contribute to the sourcing and supplier management of key technology spend areas. This is an exciting opportunity for a procurement professional who wants to grow in a dynamic tech environment, work closely with stakeholders, and progressively build exposure to a broad range of IT-related categories.

You will partner with teams across Tech, Internal IT, Finance, Security, Legal and business functions to support sourcing initiatives, negotiations, supplier management and continuous improvement projects.

The exact scope will be defined jointly based on business priorities and the successful candidate’s experience. It will be centered around categories such as R&D, Internal IT and Corporate Software. In addition, the role will lead and manage selected subcategories within this perimeter.

This is also a great moment to join: Criteo is actively progressing on its ARCH finance modernization journey, including its Source-to-Pay transformation. The person in this role will actively contribute to that evolution and help shape better ways of working across Procurement, Finance and the business. Time of change!

Your mission

• Support the definition and execution of sourcing strategies across a portfolio of technology-related categories, in close partnership with internal stakeholders and suppliers.
• Lead or contribute to sourcing initiatives, including RFPs, RFQs, contract negotiations and supplier selection, with a focus on service, value for money and risk management.
• Build strong working relationships with stakeholders across R&D, Internal IT, Finance, Security, Legal and other business teams in order to understand needs and support sound procurement decisions.
• Lead and manage selected subcategories, with clear ownership of sourcing activity, supplier follow-up and action plans.
• Contribute to the broader category roadmap across R&D, Internal IT and Corporate Software, with a scope that will be defined jointly over time.
• Help manage supplier relationships with key partners to improve performance, accountability and collaboration.
• Use spend data, market intelligence and KPIs to support category analysis and identify improvement opportunities.
• Contribute to Source-to-Pay and Procure-to-Pay improvement initiatives, especially in the context of the ongoing ARCH finance modernization program.
• Manage several projects in parallel with good prioritization, structure and a collaborative mindset.

What makes this role exciting

• A real category management role with tangible exposure to Criteo’s technology ecosystem.
• A broad and evolving scope, with room to learn, grow and progressively take ownership.
• A chance to work on meaningful procurement topics while being part of a wider company transformation.
• A hands-on environment where ideas, curiosity and continuous improvement are valued.

Who You Are:

• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Procurement, Supply Chain, Engineering or a related field.
• 3+ years of experience in Procurement, including supplier management, contract management, negotiations and/or tendering activities.
• Exposure to software, technology services and/or IT-related categories; experience in Internal IT, Corporate Software or R&D-related environments is a plus.
• A solid procurement foundation and the willingness to keep learning and growing in category management.
• Good stakeholder management skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively and communicate clearly across functions.
• Strong analytical and organizational skills, with the ability to manage several topics in parallel in a structured way.
• Interest in technology and AI, digital tools and market trends.
• Excellent communication skills in English, both written and verbal.
• A proactive and team-oriented mindset, with the right level of humility, autonomy and ownership.
• Good command of Excel and PowerPoint.
