Role: Vendor Portfolio Executive
Location: Birmingham (Hybrid – WFH Monday & Friday)
Salary: £38,000Why this role?
This is a key commercial role sitting at the heart of our vendor strategy. You'll be the person who brings clarity to complex vendor portfolios – deciding what matters, what doesn't, and why – and making sure Sales, Marketing, Procurement and Vendors are all aligned.
If you enjoy understanding products, spotting opportunities, and shaping how a business focuses its effort (without carrying a sales target or negotiating contracts), this role is for you.
What you'll be doing
-
Owning product and portfolio clarity for assigned vendors – what we sell, where it fits, and where it's going
-
Translating vendor roadmaps and updates into clear, usable guidance for internal teams
-
Acting as the internal product expert and source of truth
-
Supporting Sales with positioning, focus ranges, and competitive context
-
Working closely with Vendor Enablement, Procurement, Marketing and Finance to keep everything joined up
-
Managing product lifecycle visibility – new launches, transitions, and end-of-life planning
What you won't be doing
-
Negotiating vendor terms
-
Setting pricing or rebates
-
Placing purchase orders or managing stock
-
Carrying a sales target
This role is about insight, structure, and influence – not transactions.

-
Vendor or Product Enablement
-
Purchasing / Buying / Procurement (commercially focused)
-
Sales Operations or Commercial Operations
-
Presales / Solutions Consulting
-

You're organised, commercially curious, confident working cross-functionally, and enjoy being the person who makes sense of complexity.
Why join us?

Influence real commercial decisions without sales pressure
-
Work closely with leading vendors and senior internal stakeholders
-
Shape portfolio direction and support scalable growth
-
Be part of a collaborative, fast-moving environment where clarity matters
