**About the role**

Under the leadership of the Senior Commercial Specialist, Supply Chain and Major Contracts, this role will champion, develop and deliver the relevant elements of Wiltshire Council’s Procurement Strategy.

You will have substantial experience as a procurement practitioner and will have expert level knowledge of UK procurement legislation, market assessments and applicable policy initiatives.

You will be able to build and maintain influential and collaborative relationships with internal customers to ensure awareness of the opportunities, risks and best practice relevant to procurement.

A team player, you will act as a role model demonstrating organisational vales as well as acting mentor to improve performance and release potential.
