  • Identifying and prioritising opportunities where procurement can deliver value, delivering those opportunities through strategic sourcing or negotiation, putting in place appropriate contracts, and then managing performance against the resulting contracts through life
  • To represent procurement as part of relevant business area leadership teams, including Executive Committee and their direct reports
  • Building business cases and supporting them through the relevant governance
  • Being a positive and proactive member of the TalkTalk procurement team


Core skills required:

  • Able to influence challenging stakeholders and work closely with them
  • Ability to build strong relationships built on mutual trust and respect
  • Knowledge and experience of delivering value through strategic procurement activity
  • Experience running RFx processes, planning and running sourcing projects efficiently
  • Competent and skilled negotiator
  • Highly data literate with good working knowledge of Excel and the ability to derive actionable insights from complex and incomplete data sets
  • Working knowledge of financial accounting basics including P&Ls, balance sheets, and cashflow statements and the practical differences between them
  • Attention to detail while able to think strategically and long-term
  • Knowledge of commercial contracts, including drafting
  • Understanding of SRM principles, including performance and contractual management
  • Enthusiasm to grow and develop with training and attending industry events
  • Experience of working in the Telecom industry is not required
