**About Us**
MI5 safeguards the UK against threats such as terrorism, espionage, cyber and sabotage. We investigate suspect individuals and organisations in the UK to obtain, collate, analyse and assess secret intelligence relating to these threats. Alongside our British Intelligence partners SIS and GCHQ, we provide the UK government with the information they need to protect national security. At MI5 you’ll enjoy varied and rewarding work in a supportive and encouraging environment that puts the emphasis on teamwork.
**The Role**
At MI5, we’re heading into a fascinating period of development and organisational change: and we’re looking for a Commercial Lead to join us. The role could be in our customer-facing team, where you’ll be responsible for non-category procurement and the development of our commercial pipeline and in-year delivery, or in the Commercial Delivery Team, where you’ll look after sub-category strategies for Estates, People & Professional Services and Technology.
Whichever team you join, there has never been a more exciting time to progress your career at MI5. You’ll help us shape the commercial activity for key projects, leading the delivery of the 2021 Spending Review (SR21) commitments. You’ll also have opportunities to be involved in business change initiatives across the Commercial function, translating business goals into action. An empathetic and hands-on manager, you’ll support a small team in developing their skills and abilities to achieve goals together, whilst we’ll support you in a stimulating environment that manages a unique portfolio of major procurement projects.
A role model to your team, you’ll build their confidence through coaching and mentoring, sharing your expertise to ensure they deliver excellent procurement and supply service. Alongside enabling and managing these procurement projects, you’ll oversee transactions to reduce delivery time and implement a first-class Low Value Transaction (LVT) approach.
Driving improvements, innovation and performance from suppliers, you’ll support cross-agency (MI5, SIS and GCHQ) working and deliver the procurement and supply service to a wide range of participants, displaying professionalism and a collaborative attitude throughout. You’ll have opportunities to visit other national locations (depending on the location of your team), where you can grow your network and discover new ways of working.
As a valued leader at MI5, you’ll also represent our shared corporate services management team at senior meetings with government departments, offering professional advice and constructively feeding back on strategic issues, to ensure the best outcomes for our people and teams. If you’re dedicated, proactive and experienced in procurement, this could be a rewarding new stage in your career.
**About You**
You’ll have experience in a procurement and supply chain environment, leading and implementing complex decisions with best practice procurement, supply chain processes and methodologies in mind. Ready for the next step, you’ll already hold (or be studying for) a professional Commercial qualification, like the MCIPS or the World Commerce and Contracting Certification - or be willing to work towards one of these. Crucially, before being offered the role you’ll need to attend the Commercial Lead - Government Commercial Assessment and Development Centre, achieving an A accreditation.
You’ll also have an understanding of how to develop a commercial pipeline, with consistent and repeatable Management Information (MI) to support prioritisation of the commercial workbook. You’ll have developed and delivered sub-category strategies, but know about implementing Spending Review 2021 appropriate Key Performance Indicators and tender evaluation to improve departmental use of Subject Matter Experts/Small to Medium Enterprises, reduce carbon emissions and increase diversity, too. You’ll have experience drafting and negotiating contracts, with support from Legal and Finance colleagues, in addition to managing significant spend and saving efficiencies.
At MI5, we know that soft skills are just as essential to thriving in a role - and so do you. Your experience in commercial, procurement or category management will be supported by your resilient and optimistic attitude, which helps you to maintain positive working relationships. A confident communicator, you’re as comfortable building constructive relationships with customers, sponsors and suppliers as you are writing commercial strategies and plans. In short, you’ll have both professional experience and proven interpersonal skills.
**Training and Development**
One thing you can count on when you join MI5 is our dedication to your professional development. When you start, you’ll be assigned a buddy to help you settle in, and as you progress you’ll have regular check-ins, to ensure you’re receiving the right support and opportunities. You cou
