Our major client in the Energy industry is looking for an experienced Strategic Procurement Officer to join their team.

You’ll be responsible for sourcing the supply of IT Services in accordance with all internal policies and procedures and external legislation, including Utilities Contract Regulations (where applicable).

Reportable to the Strategic 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 also support relevant supplier relationship and performance management activities. Working with the wider Procurement and Commercial team, you’ll continually drive efficiencies in sourcing and the overall process.

You will have a broad knowledge of IT markets, business needs and UK Procurement Legislation, able to put this into overall context.

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.

A target-focused and result-driven individual, you’ll be able to bring about change. Your self-confidence and independence will enable you to challenge the norm, think creatively, and negotiate well. You’ll have excellent communication and numeracy skills, with a highly-developed drafting and writing ability.
