**Job Description**:
**Strategic Buyer**

**Why Rolls-Royce?
Are you an experienced strategic procurement professional who would like to work in a world class engineering and manufacturing environment? - Then we may have a right opportunity for you

In this role, you will contribute to creating the procurement strategy and selecting the supplier, negotiate the best deal, agree the contract, and then manage the contract ensuring that we have a high performing supply chain. The performance of our external supply chain is critical to all of our business metrics and the Rolls-Royce Procurement team are central to Rolls-Royce success.

You will be part of the Strategic Procurement team, buying parts that go into our Civil Aerospace engines. The team works across our Categories in Services and Operations.
