Procurement Operations & ERP Specialist, UK

Procurement Operations & ERP Specialist, UK 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.
