Role: Vendor Portfolio ExecutiveLocation: 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.
Who this role suits
You'll likely come from a background in:
- Vendor or Product Enablement
- Purchasing / Buying / Procurement (commercially focused)
- Sales Operations or Commercial Operations
- Presales / Solutions Consulting
- Vendor or Channel Management
You're organised, commercially curious, confident working cross-functionally, and enjoy being the person who makes sense of complexity. xwzovoh
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
