Supplier Negotiation : Negotiate new and renewal contracts with suppliers to secure service, quality, value, and supply chain security. Lead negotiations for large, complex projects.

Process Management : Manage procurement processes from inception to contract handover, ensuring diligent execution and compliance with corporate policy.

Reporting & Monitoring : Track initiatives and supplier performance, reporting on financial benefits and risks.

What we are looking for:

  • Significant experience in procurement, sourcing, or contract management in a commercial environment.
  • Expertise in change management and category sourcing strategies.
  • Strong negotiation, stakeholder management, and process management skills.
  • Strategic thinking, problem-solving, and the ability to work independently.
  • CIPS membership/accreditation is advantageous but not essential.
