The role

Hey there!
We're Fever, the world's leading tech platform for culture and live entertainment.

Our mission? To democratize access to culture and entertainment. With our proprietary cutting-edge technology and data-driven approach, we're revolutionizing the way people engage with live entertainment.

Every month, our platform inspires over 300 million people in +55 countries (and counting) to discover unforgettable experiences while also empowering event creators with our data and technology, helping them scale, innovate, and enhance their events to reach new audiences.

Our results? We've teamed up with major industry leaders like Netflix, F.C. Barcelona, and Primavera Sound, presented international award-winning experiences, and are backed by several leading global investors! Impressive, right?

To achieve our mission, we are looking for bar-raisers with a hands-on mindset who are eager to help shape the future of entertainment!

Ready to be part of the experience?

Now, let's discuss this role and what you will do to help achieve Fever's mission.

As our Senior Procurement Specialist - Large-Scale Productions, you will lead end-to-end purchasing and supplier operations for a world-class, large-scale production in Madrid. This is far from a standard desk-bound procurement role; it is a high-stakes, fast-moving position that balances rigorous commercial negotiation with hands-on, real-time problem-solving in the field.

You will manage the entire supply chain and operational services ecosystem required to build a city-scale temporary infrastructure: overlay, grandstands, hosting staffing, heavy machinery, power generation, audiovisual setups, waste management, security, and crowd logistics.

What you'll do

  • Strategic Sourcing & Category Leadership: Design and execute the full procurement strategy across all operational production packages (temporary infrastructure/overlay, primary power, staging, AV, site services, plant hire, perimeter security).
  • High-Stakes Contract Negotiation: Lead negotiations for high-value supplier agreements, master service contracts, and critical scope variations. Drive maximum value while securing strict SLAs, performance penalties, safety standards, and non-negotiable delivery milestones.
  • On-Site Operational Delivery & Supplier Supervision: Serve as the procurement anchor on the ground. Support the Production and Ops team in supervising contractors directly during site mobilization, construction, live show days, and strike. Resolve scope gaps, supply bottlenecks and vendor defaults in real time with decisive agility.
  • Vendor Ecosystem & Performance Management: Qualify, onboard, and continuously evaluate a vast network of tier-1 international providers and specialized local suppliers. Ensure strict compliance with Spanish labor regulations, municipal permits, safety protocols, and occupational health standards (PRL).
  • Budget Ownership & Real-Time Cost Control: Partner closely with Production Directors, Site Managers, and Finance to control CapEx and OpEx. Monitor spend continuously, manage contingency allocations, and audit contractor deliverables prior to approving milestone payments.
  • Risk Mitigation & Emergency Procurement: Anticipate supply chain bottlenecks and critical-path risks. Maintain ready-to-deploy contingency plans for emergency procurement, replacement plant/machinery, and rapid-response labor during live operations.

How you'll work

This role demands a strong field presence. During key operational phases-specifically the build-up months, live event execution, and tear-down windows-you will be required to be 100% on-site in Madrid. You must thrive in high-pressure, live environments where quick decision-making, rapid contractor troubleshooting, and operational agility are vital to protecting the timeline and budget.
