What you’ll be doing...

A key aspect of the Roaming sourcing role is ensuring that we execute our work in a timely and organized fashion. The Specialist Sourcing- Roaming will actively manage multiple time-sensitive requests, effectively interface with all levels of management while efficiently ensuring the sourcing process is completed consistent with Verizon policies and goals.

- Helping the negotiations team and department heads to develop a strategic plan for the MNO partners in their regions over a multi-year time horizon, collaborate with internal stakeholders and MNO partners to bridge the gap between strategy and execution of that plan.
- Assisting in the negotiation of commercial terms of roaming, permanent roaming and outbound eUICC agreements (new and amendments to existing agreements), including establishing relationships with Roaming Contacts at other MNOs.
- Assisting with relationship management, including resolving commercial issues which will require partnership with technical, marketing and finance organizations (e.g. network, operations, revenue assurance, finance, marketing), including driving projects to completion.
- Identify contract improvements, simplifications and optimization opportunities to drive better outcomes, including contacting frameworks.

The Specialist Sourcing- Roaming will be expected to carry out administrative duties for the negotiations team whilst also learning about Roaming and sharpening their negotiations skills to continuously add value to the larger team.

Even better if you have:

- Knowledge of Roaming/Strategic Sourcing processes, policies, and procedures or roaming processes and procedures.
- Knowledge and experience with GSM and/or LTE Roaming.
- Bachelor's degree in Business Administration/Management, Finance, Sourcing or a Technical discipline.
- Ability to influence decision makers.
