WHAT YOU’LL BRING
  • Broad Procurement experience, ideally more focused on indirect spend.
  • Strong knowledge of vendor sourcing practices (researching, evaluating and liaising with vendors)
  • Solid analytical skills, with the ability to create financial reports and conduct cost analyses
  • Previous experience in managing a RFP process
  • Confidence to challenge costs where appropriate to achieve savings
  • Ability to build relationships with internal stakeholders and external suppliers
  • Positive and solutions focused approach when working with internal customers
  • Ideally working towards a CIPS qualification.

WHAT WE CAN OFFER YOU

You will work with talented and passionate people to support, develop or publish our sophisticated and enduring games, in a creative, collaborative and inclusive environment. We love what we do, and we work hard to provide outstanding experiences for our players. 

Wellbeing is a big focus at Frontier, and we are continually evolving how we can support our people. We encourage a healthy work/life balance and provide a range of wellbeing activities, initiatives and sessions to support both mental and physical health.

We offer a competitive salary and benefits package, which includes a success-based annual bonus, share option schemes, life assurance, private family healthcare, flexitime working hours, enhanced maternity/paternity leave, in-house subsidised catering, support with relocation, a Cycle to Work scheme, free bike servicing, and social activities and events.
