Grab
Get to Know the Team
Grab Procurement is not a compliance function. We are a commercial intelligence engine — built to create enterprise value through smarter supplier relationships, sharper commercial models, and procurement infrastructure that enables the business to move fast and spend wisely.
We are mid-transformation: moving from a process-oriented team to an AI-native, outcomes-focused function where each person owns a material part of Grab's commercial landscape. If you want to run processes, this isn't the team. If you want to manage outcomes, it is.
You will report to and work with the Regional Category Head, Marketing Procurement and base on-site in our Petaling Jaya office.
Get to Know the Role
Media and MarTech together represent one of Grab's largest, most commercially complex, and fastest-evolving spend categories. You must understand where the media supply chain is going — not just where it has been — and have the Heart and Hunger to shape commercial solutions with the Agencies and the Business.
You will oversee end-to-end commercial sourcing strategy for media services and marketing technology across Grab's SEA markets. The Marketing organization trusts, respects, and pulls in the commercial counterpart before it makes the decisions — not after.
We are looking for someone who brings genuine supply-side fluency. You have a media agency background, with experience in media planning (including OOH and digital exposure) or account management (with a good grip on FTE structures and commercial models). This combination is necessary to translate that knowledge into value for Grab, using procurement rigour.
The Critical Tasks You Will Perform
What You Own
Media Category Strategy
Develop a living category strategy for paid digital, programmatic, search, social, OOH, and latest channels. Grounded in SEA market realities; updated as commercial landscape shifts. Cover both Media and MarTech sub-categories.
Sourcing & Commercial Architecture
Lead all RFx processes for media and MarTech. Design commercial models that reflect how value is actually created — output-based, performance-linked, or hybrid. No legacy manhour-by-default. Accountable to the recommendation end to end.
Media Transparency & Audit
Establish and manage media audit capability across main markets. Identify, scope, and deploy audit mechanisms that surface rebates, hidden fees, inventory mark-ups, and non-transparent programmatic trading. You oversee the commercial truth of the media supply chain.
MarTech Procurement & Rationalization
Manage MarTech category: tool rationalization, build-vs-buy framework, contract renewals, and vendor governance. Ensure stack consolidation and Return on investment linkage to media and KOL. Prevent tool sprawl and reduce duplicative spend across markets.
Emerge and AI-Native Commercial Models
As AI reshapes agency delivery — AI-generated creative, automated buying, token-based pricing — ensure Grab's contracts and commercial terms evolve ahead of the curve. Work with MarTech teams to build procurement guardrails for AI tooling adoption.
Supplier Performance Governance (SRM)
Oversee the performance framework for media and MarTech partners. Define goals, lead QBRs (MCS, Mindshare, Publicis), and escalate when standards fall short. Relationship management is not enough — you hold suppliers commercially accountable.
Savings & Value Delivery
Accountable for measurable savings and efficiency gains — cost reduction, spend effectiveness, DPO improvement, and commercial model value creation. Not cost avoidance alone.
Upstream Business Partnership
Be the commercial partner Regional Marketing and Growth teams trust. Take positions in the room before, not after. Influence sourcing decisions upstream. Create the Procurement Value Calendar to align engagement with marketing's business rhythm.
