FAQ

Common questions about this CV

Do I need an MBA, CIPS or CPSM certification?

Not in early-stage companies. In mid- and large-cap firms in the EU and US, CIPS or CPSM materially helps. MBA matters mainly for VP Procurement roles in corporates.

How does SaaS procurement differ from classic B2B?

SaaS leans on indirect spend: cloud, licences, contractors. Less logistics, more negotiating around terms, multi-year discounts and renewals. Excel and ERP matter more than tender portals.

How do I show savings on a CV when I lack hard numbers?

Anchor on percentages and baseline: '15% off prior pricing' or '$40k cut on category X'. If only qualitative wins exist, frame them via cycle time, risk reduction or compliance.

Can I switch from logistics or finance into procurement?

Yes, both are common feeders. Highlight contract work, cost analysis and negotiation history. Procurement teams often hire from financial-analysis backgrounds.

What level of English is expected?

B2 for roles touching international vendors, C1 for global SaaS and corporates. If you negotiate live with US counterparts, anything below confident English will hurt.
