Position summary

Bloomberg's Global Procurement team is hiring a Responsible Procurement Lead to develop and deliver its Responsible Procurement agenda. Partnering with Corporate Sustainability and cross-functional teams, the role embeds environmental, social, and governance considerations throughout the supplier lifecycle, balancing ESG with cost, quality, service, risk, and commercial outcomes.

Why this role matters

• Own the strategy by evolving the Responsible Procurement strategy and roadmap, aligning with Corporate Sustainability, governance, and reporting expectations, and developing policies and category guidance.
• Drive supplier decarbonization by partnering on emissions measurement, supplier segmentation, and decarbonization transition plans, and embedding climate, renewable energy, and nature considerations into sourcing.
• Manage ESG risk by strengthening supplier due diligence, modern slavery and human rights risk assessment, screening, remediation, and audit-ready evidence with Legal and Vendor Risk Management.
• Lead supplier inclusion by creating opportunities for diverse-owned and underrepresented suppliers and supporting Bloomberg's Reconciliation Action Plan in Australia.
• Bring procurement discipline to RFI/RFQ/RFP design, supplier evaluation, negotiation, contracting, and performance management.
• Report and measure by establishing KPIs, dashboards, and controls supporting sustainability, impact, and modern slavery reporting.
