Procurement Specialist | Licensing and Vendor Renewals I Hybrid

Some roles deal with chaos.

This one prevents it.

Licences renew on time. Quotes make sense. Vendors respond.

And nobody is scrambling to explain why something expired five minutes ago.

That someone might be you.

We are looking for a Procurement Specialist to handle licensing, renewals, and vendor admin across our technology partners. The goal is simple. Keep things tidy, predictable, and under control, so everyone else can do their job without drama.

If you enjoy order, checklists, and quiet wins, this is your kind of role.

About First Focus

First Focus is Australia’s number one mid-market Managed Services Provider, and yes, we are allowed to brag about it. We have been voted Australia’s Best MSP eight years in a row, which only happens if a lot of behind-the-scenes work is done properly, every single day.

We have been growing for over 15 years and now have more than 300 people across Australia, New Zealand, and the Philippines. Our PH team is a big part of that success, not a support afterthought. We run day shifts, value family time, and try very hard not to turn simple things into complicated ones. Good handovers matter. Clear ownership matters. And yes, being able to step away for merienda without everything falling apart matters too.

Why This Role Actually Works

• You are trusted with real responsibility, but not set up to fail
• You work with real vendors, real portals, and real deadlines
• You learn licensing properly, not by trial and error at midnight
• You help keep renewals boring, which is exactly how everyone wants them
• You are part of a team that believes clear ownership beats endless meetings

This is also a great step-up role if you already handle renewals or vendor admin and want broader exposure without being expected to know everything on day one.

What You Will Be Doing

• Managing software licensing and renewals from start to finish, including new orders, renewals, co-terms, true-ups, and support or maintenance
• Preparing quotes and SKUs carefully, because fixing mistakes later is no one’s idea of fun
• Coordinating with vendors, distributors, and internal teams to keep renewals aligned with customer needs
• Logging into multiple vendor portals with patience and a strong coffee
• Tracking renewal dates so nothing expires quietly in the background
• Keeping licensing records clean enough that anyone can pick them up without panicking
• Learning the wider vendor stack over time, with training and support

If you enjoy turning chaos into calm, you will be very popular very quickly.

Requirements

What We Are Looking For

• Experience in procurement, licensing, renewals, or vendor administration
• Strong attention to detail, because small mistakes here become very visible later
• Comfortable following up vendors politely, firmly, and more than once if needed
• Organised, steady, and able to juggle multiple renewals without stress
• Clear communicator who likes things documented and sensible
• Experience in IT, software, or an MSP environment is a strong advantage

If you are the type who reminds people before deadlines, labels folders properly, or quietly fixes things without making a big deal about it, you will fit right in.
