About
the role The Global Sourcing Lead is a senior role within Bolt's Procurement team, sitting at the intersection of business strategy and commercial delivery. Reporting to the Head of Sourcing – Operations, you'll act as the primary procurement partner for Bolt's key verticals, including Delivery and Bolt Drive. This isn't a back-office procurement role. You'll work directly with vertical leadership to shape procurement priorities, lead high-value sourcing initiatives, and build the supplier relationships that underpin Bolt's commercial performance globally. You'll also play an active role in developing the Procurement function itself. Main tasks and
responsibilities: Act as the strategic procurement partner for Bolt's verticals, building trusted relationships with vertical leadership and translating business priorities into actionable procurement strategies and demand roadmaps. Lead end-to-end high-value sourcing initiatives, including RFx processes (using Workday/Zicus), bid evaluation, supplier selection recommendations, and stakeholder guidance throughout. Develop negotiation strategies and lead commercial negotiations, securing enterprise-wide agreements that minimise risk and deliver measurable value, including drafting SOWs, SLAs, and other commercial terms. Build and manage strategic supplier relationships across the verticals, covering performance management, contract compliance, proactive renewal planning, and regular supplier business reviews. Monitor market trends, conduct spend analysis, and run benchmarking activity to surface commercial opportunities and keep procurement strategy informed by accurate, actionable data. Ensure full compliance with Bolt's procurement policies and the Enterprise Risk Management Framework, acting as an escalation point for vertical procurement issues and contributing to continuous function development. About you: Proven experience in strategic procurement or sourcing, ideally within a global, fast-growth, or technology-led environment. Strong track record leading complex, high-value commercial negotiations and delivering measurable savings across a portfolio of supplier agreements. Excellent stakeholder management and influencing skills, with experience advising and partnering with senior business leaders across multiple functions or verticals. Confident with procurement data: spend analytics, benchmarking, and total cost of ownership modelling are a natural part of how you work. Clear, credible communicator in English, able to present procurement strategies and recommendations to diverse audiences. Familiarity with RFx tools and procurement platforms, ideally including Workday or similar. Experience developing or contributing to category strategy at a global or regional scale. Background in procurement for operations, delivery, or mobility-adjacent categories is a plus. At Bolt, using AI daily is a baseline expectation for everyone.
