Coventry, United Kingdom Coventry Building Society Full time

**About The Role**:
***
- Coventry Building Society has grown into the second largest building society in the UK. Despite being a national Society, it keeps its local values and loyalty, and its caring family ethos.
- The best way to judge a company is based on what the people who work there say and our recent employee survey has resulted in us being named as one of the UK's Best Workplaces for Wellbeing by Great Place to Work.
- We offer not only fulfilling jobs and exciting career opportunities but a place where everyone can belong and feel proud to work. What makes us such a rich and progressive place to work is the huge variety of people that make up our workforce.
- And of course, we don’t pretend that what you do for us is all there is to you. We want you to bring your whole self to work - parent, carer, artist, triathlete, introvertwhatever it is that makes you YOU. We offer the balance to make sure you have plenty of time to do the things you need or want to do alongside work, because we know that’s how you are able to be your best.**What You’ll Be Doing**

As a fully regulated business by both the PRA and FCA, the main purpose of this role is sourcing of goods and services (Excluding IT) in line with our strategic goals, across a wide variety of indirect categories.
- Ensuring value for money is delivered (through savings & cost avoidance) whilst demonstrating full compliance in all 3rd party contracts through analysis, planning, negotiation, and adherence to the Society’s procurement and contracting policies.
- Proactive management of supplier contracts, ensuring suppliers are on fit-for-purpose contract terms in line with legal requirements.
- Benchmarking and negotiation of existing 3rd party supply contracts. Ensuring optimum market pricing is achieved, offering solutions including switching to more cost-effective options.
- Support in drafting and execution of RFP activities in line with category strategies.
- Build strong relationships across the business, and supply base, including with our budget owners.
- Develop sourcing strategies, review business cases, and provide market insight to aid sourcing decision making.
- Support The Society’s ESG agenda through sourcing and supplier initiatives.
- Identify and track commercial benefits across our supply base.

**About You**:
***
- You will have a can-do attitude, and be keen to develop in a Procurement role. You will be an excellent communicator and have transferable skills from a commercial background.
- In addition, we have a truly hybrid working approach with around 1 day a week in our Binley offices.
