- Excellent negotiation abilities
- Understanding of supply chain management procedures
- Strategic planning abilities
- Understanding of project management methodologies and change management principles
- Sufficient contract knowledge and experience to be able to deal with some terms and conditions independently

**Who would be a good fit for this role?**

As part of the small procurement team, you would be expected to have the following skills and experience:

- Indirect procurement and contract negotiation experience, ideally in a regulated environment
- Ability to establish and maintain strong relationships and work collaboratively with internal stakeholders across the firm and external suppliers
- Flexible and adaptable; able to work in ambiguous situations
- Strong negotiation and communication skills
- Analytical and problem-solving skills
- Ability to manage multiple projects and priorities
