Key Responsibilities:
* You'll be responsible for sourcing the supply of IT & Telco Services in accordance with all internal policies and procedures and external legislation, including Utilities Contract Regulations (where applicable).
* Reportable to the Senior Category Manager, you'll work with Category Managers and Procurement Officers as well as the Business in the development of both standard and complex contracting and sourcing strategies.
* You will ensure the lowest total cost of ownership to the group, and robust contractual provisions to mitigate risks in contract delivery.

* You will have a broad knowledge of IT & Telco markets, business needs and UK Procurement Legislation, able to put this into overall context.
* You'll have a good understanding of relevant statutory and legal provisions, with a strong ability to draft contracts with special terms. An understanding of standard form contracts is desirable, but not essential.
* Experience in the use of Procurement related systems, such as Oracle ebusiness, Jaggaer Bravo and Achilles Utility Vendor Database or similar systems would be beneficial.
* Additionally, you will work closely with Stakeholders to understand their requirements, manage expectations and influence people outside your sphere of responsibility. Also, you'll understand the supply chain and how to manage it.
