Procurement Operations & ERP Specialist, UK
Verda
At Verda, we're building a fully featured European AI cloud, covering everything needed to train, experiment with, and deploy AI models at scale.
We are a full-stack AI infrastructure company, meaning we design, operate, and optimize the compute powering modern AI workloads across training and inference. Our infrastructure runs on 100% renewable energy, helping build a more sustainable AI ecosystem.
Join Verda while it’s still being built - not once it’s finished.
About the role
This is a dual role. You will lead the optimization of our ERP for procurement and supply chain, and you will work hands-on inside daily procurement operations. On the systems side, you standardize and automate procurement workflows, build reporting, and make the platform scale for a global operation. On the operations side, you support the procurement team directly with RFQs, purchase orders, supplier follow-up, and shipment tracking. The best person for this seat is comfortable moving between "improve the system" and "get the order out the door."
What You’ll Do
- Lead the continuous optimization of ERP for procurement and supply chain: design and maintain workflows, approval processes, user roles, permissions, and master data.
- Automate manual procurement tasks and standardize processes across EMEA, US, and APAC so the platform scales with the business.
- Build and maintain PO approval workflows with the right controls, and improve RFQ, PO, inventory, and vendor management processes.
- Develop dashboards and reporting for purchasing spend, supplier performance, lead times, and inventory to give management real-time visibility.
- Provide day-to-day ERP support to procurement users, troubleshoot issues, and translate their pain points into practical system improvements.
- Support daily procurement execution: RFQs, purchase orders, supplier follow-up, shipment tracking, supplier onboarding, and documentation.
- Coordinate with suppliers to resolve order, delivery, and invoice issues, and support spend analysis and forecasting.
- Train users and maintain documentation to drive adoption and consistent process use.
What We’re Looking For
- Bachelor's degree in Information Systems, Computer Science, Business Administration, Supply Chain Management, or a related field.
- 3+ years hands-on experience implementing or administering ERP, including configuring workflows, approval processes, and user permissions.
- 2 to 3+ years of experience in procurement, supply chain, or ERP operations, with a solid grasp of procurement and supply chain processes.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, and the ability to translate operational needs into system improvements.
- Professional English communication skills and the ability to work across Procurement, Finance, Logistics, Warehouse, and Operations.
Nice to Have
- Experience with Odoo (or equivalent) ERP Studio, Python, PostgreSQL, XML, or API integrations.
- Experience building Power BI dashboards.
- Prior experience supporting procurement or supply chain teams directly.
- Knowledge of AI infrastructure, data center operations, or hardware procurement.
- Experience in a fast-growing technology company.
- Mandarin, which helps with our Taiwan procurement team and suppliers.
Practicalities
- Work mode: On-site, London, UK.
- Employment type: Full-time and permanent
