- Identifying opportunities to improve procurement processes and procedures
- Taking ownership of identified spend categories and processes
- Negotiating contracts with suppliers and manage supplier relationships and performance

**What technical skills are required for someone to be successful and enjoy the role?**
- Understanding of risk and risk management/mitigation
- Data analysis and mathematics skills
- Superior organisational skills
- Good business instincts and financial analysis skills to enable benchmarking, cost reduction and continuous improvement
- Excellent negotiation abilities
- Understanding of supply chain management procedures
- Strategic planning abilities
- Understanding of project management methodologies and change management principles
- Sufficient contract knowledge and experience to be able to deal with some terms and conditions independently

**Who would be a good fit for this role?**

As part of the small procurement team, you would be expected to have the following skills and experience:

- Indirect procurement and contract negotiation experience, ideally in a regulated environment
- Ability to establish and maintain strong relationships and work collaboratively with internal stakeholders across the firm and external suppliers
- Flexible and adaptable; able to work in ambiguous situations
- Strong negotiation and communication skills
- Analytical and problem-solving skills
- Ability to manage multiple projects and priorities
