Essential:

- Degree qualified or equivalent experience in defining and creating strategies.
- Capability to create high-quality long-term purchasing strategies.
- A strong communicator with the ability to communicate effectively with key stakeholders to influence cross-functional engagement.
- Translating analytical results into detailed, robust actionable recommendations to the business

**SO WHY US?**

All this and more makes Jaguar Land Rover the perfect place to continue your journey.

This role may offer the opportunity for hybrid working where you can split your time between working from home and in the office. At Jaguar Land Rover, hybrid working is a voluntary, non-contractual arrangement providing employees with more choice and flexibility around how, when and where they work, if suitable for their role. Further details can be discussed with the Hiring Manager at interview stage.

Jaguar Land Rover is committed to equal opportunity for all.
