You’d be responsible for supporting the Procurement Manager in providing contract and supplier insight as well as governance and control to help AO grow and achieve its goals.

**Here's What You Can Expect To Be Doing**:

- Support in removing cost from the supply chain through right sizing, rationalisation and addressing tail spend
- Promote/communicate the Group Procurement vision across categories - Tech, HR, Facilities, Brand & Marketing
- Maintain and develop open and constructive supplier relationships
- Communicate contractual changes to stakeholders while maintaining, updating, and improving those records
- Work with legal team to ensure suppliers T’s and C’s achieve the best outcome for AO
- Address and report any contract-related issues that come up
- Work Onboarding/Offboarding/Renewal processes

**A Few Things About You**:

- Two or more years in procurement type role
- Understanding of supplier lifecycle processes including legal and commercial contractual terms
- Strong organisational and prioritisation skills
- Ability to work on your own initiative
- Confidence to ask "Why?" as well as "How?"
- Strong communication and stakeholder-influencing skills
- Analytical and process oriented

**A Bit About Us**:
When it comes to appliances and electricals, we’ve got the lot. Washing machines? Yep. TVs? Check. Laptops? Absolutely. Everything except doorbells (just kidding, we’ve got those too).

We’re known for helping our customers brilliantly - and it’s no different for AOers. We care about more than what’s on your CV, because together we can do extraordinary things.

**Our Benefits**:
Our benefits are designed to cover the moments that matter to AOers. From health and wellness to giving back - you’ll be rewarded inside and outside of work.
- 25 days holiday, plus bank holidays
- Matched pension - contribute 5% of your annual salary and we'll do the same
