Procurement Manager

Lunar is a Nordic challenger bank building the future of financial life with AI at the core. Our engineers, designers, and product

people work on problems that actually matter. Making money simpler, smarter, and more rewarding for over a million registered

users across the Nordics.

As our new Procurement Manager you'll join our Finance organization reporting to our Legal Director in Aarhus. You'll build

Lunar's procurement function from the ground up and run it: setting the policy and framework for how we buy, leading the

procurements and renegotiations that matter, and making sure we get value for what we spend, across IT, services, consultants,

goods and leases.

Every supplier follow a shared process: you own sourcing, price and negotiation, Third Party Risk Management owns the risk view

and sits alongside you rather than inside the deal, Legal shapes the contract, and GDPR checks personal data and other

requirements before anything is signed. Most of what Lunar buys is technology, so DORA's requirements are built into every ICT

purchase. Finance owns the purchase order flow and cost control with you, and Company IT partners you on software licences.

• Build the function. Set up the procurement policy, procedures and approval thresholds for all spend, from software and hardware

to consultants, marketing, travel and leases, and make sure the business knows them and follows them.

• Run procurements and negotiations. Lead tenders, vendor selection and negotiations with business owners, from business case to

signed contract, together with Legal and Third Party Risk Management.

• Stop paying for what we do not use. Work with Company IT on licence management and with business owners on renewals, so no

contract renews without a decision and we cut what we use too little.

• Run one process with our control functions. Set up the handover with Third Party Risk Management, the DPO and Legal, so each

supplier gets a clear risk classification, a GDPR check and contract requirements before we sign, without slowing the business

down.

• Make cost control data based. Together with Finance, set up the purchase order flow and one overview of contracts and spend, so

we know what we have committed, with whom and why, and whether business cases deliver what they promised.

• Develop Vendor Management. Define our approach to vendor management (what happens after signature), and build recommendations

that make sure we get what we pay for and where we have clear vendor termination processes.

• Move from control to strategy. Over time, build category management and strategic sourcing for our main spend areas,

consolidate vendors and negotiate with a multi year view.

• 5+ years of experience in procurement, strategic sourcing or category management, with a large share of it on IT, software and

technology spend.

• Experience from the financial sector, energy, defence or another regulated industry, where procurement has to stand up to audit

and regulatory scrutiny.

• You have built or matured a procurement process before, including policy, thresholds, approval flows and purchase orders, and

you know how to make the business actually use it.

• Comfortable working with Legal, Data Protection and Finance on the same supplier. You know that a good deal can still fail a

GDPR or DORA check, and you plan for it.

• Strong commercial and contractual understanding. You read a contract and see what it means for price, term, renewal and exit. A

background in business, law or supply chain, for example cand.merc. or cand.merc.jur., or equivalent practical experience.

A year from now, Lunar has one procurement process the business knows and uses, a full overview of our contracts and spend, and

fewer licences we pay for but do not use.

• 4 days in the office. We're a team that builds together, thinks together, and moves together. Showing up is part of how we

work.

• State of the art equipment. The newest computer, monitor, mouse, and keyboard. We want you to do your best work without

anything slowing you down.

• Pension, health insurance, and enhanced parental leave. From your financial future to your family moments. We've got you

covered.

Depending on the regulations in the country where you will be employed, we will ask to see or obtain information about your

criminal record.

We welcome applications from candidates of all backgrounds. If you need any adjustments during the recruitment process, please let

us know.
