  6. Risk Management: Identify and mitigate risks associated with the supply of goods and services, ensuring business continuity.
  7. Stakeholder Engagement: Collaborate with internal and wider group stakeholders to understand their needs and ensure procurement strategies align with business objectives.
  8. Contract Management: Negotiate and manage contracts to ensure favorable terms, adherence to service level agreements (SLAs), and compliance with legal, financial, and sustainability requirements.
  9. Market Analysis: Conduct market research and analysis to stay informed about market trends, supplier developments, and emerging risks and opportunities.
  10. Process Improvement: Continuously improve procurement and procure-to-pay processes to increase efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance service delivery.
  11. Reporting: Track, analyse, and report on key performance indicators (KPIs) related to procurement activities, including savings achieved, supplier performance, compliance, and sustainability metrics.
Qualifications And Experience

  1. Professional certifications in procurement (e.g., CIPS) are highly desirable.
  2. Several years of experience in procurement, particularly in a managerial role focusing on category management.
  3. Proven track record of delivering cost benefits, driving sustainability initiatives, and improving procure-to-pay processes in a complex, multi-category environment.

  2. Sustainability Focus: Strong understanding of sustainability principles and the ability to integrate these into procurement decisions.
  3. Negotiation Skills: Strong negotiation skills with a focus on creating win-win situations with suppliers.
  4. Procure-to-Pay Expertise: Proficiency in managing the end-to-end procure-to-pay process, ensuring compliance and efficiency.
  5. Analytical Skills: Proficient in data analysis, cost modelling, and market research to inform decision-making.
  6. Stakeholder Management: Excellent communication and interpersonal skills to engage and influence stakeholders at all levels.
  7. Project Management: Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously, with a focus on delivering results on time and within budget.
  8. Leadership: Strong leadership skills with the ability to manage and develop a team, fostering a collaborative and high-performing culture.
  9. Technology Savvy: Familiarity with procurement software and tools (e.g., SAP Ariba, Oracle, Coupa) and proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite.
Personal Attributes

  1. Results-oriented with a proactive approach to problem-solving.
  2. High level of integrity and professionalism.
  3. Adaptable and resilient, with the ability to manage change effectively.
