Procurement Operations & ERP Specialist, UK

Verda

LondonHybridFull Time2-5 years
Posted 1 week ago

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
