  • Be a change agent across the organisation, with the aim of improving systems and processes, by providing relevant commercial insight to the rest of the business
  • Lead and develop a team of Procurement Managers and Specialists, across a diverse range of Goods, Equipment and Services

  • Embed best practices in contract management to unlock value, drive savings targets, and enhance supplier performance through strategic negotiations and relationship management
  • Utilise data to help form sourcing strategy and value-add initiatives to inform decision making

What you'll bring to the role

In addition to having an accreditation or degree in Procurement and/or Contract/Supplier Management, you will have managed teams of procurement specialists and have experience in contract management and sourcing processes. You'll also bring the following with you:

  • Experience managing one of the following key categories: IT, Materials, Build Partners or Network Operation
  • A thorough understanding of procurement principles around effective category management and change management
  • Excellent communication skills allowing you to articulate ideas and strategies to a variety of stakeholders
