Warwick, United Kingdom National Grid Full time

**Senior Procurement Buyer (Indirect) - ESO**:

- Location: Warwick, GB, CV34 6DA- Division: FBP SO- Job Type:
- Requisition Number: 48859- Department:
- Job Function: Procurement and Contract Management**About the role**:
This is the time for action - we need to move at pace and reform our energy system - to deliver energy security, to tackle climate change and to protect our people.

Reporting to the Procurement Manager, the Senior Procurement Buyer is responsible for the delivery of Procurement activities for the Future System Operator (FSO), within the indirect category. The role will support the strategy creation for the category and execute all activities towards the delivery of that strategy, with an eye on value creation across the procured spend base.

This role is based from Warwick with occasional travel to Wokingham when required, and we continue to offer hybrid working from office and home.

**About us**:
As Great Britain’s electricity system operator (ESO), we sit at the heart of the electricity system, using our outstanding engineering and commercial expertise to balance electricity supply and demand. Ultimately, we keep the electricity flowing directly to where it’s needed, second by second.

**Becoming the National Energy System Operator**
In Summer of 2024, the ESO will transition to becoming the National Energy System Operator, or NESO for short. Previously denoted as the Future System Operator (or FSO), the new National Energy System Operator will be the independent body responsible for planning Great Britain’s electricity and gas networks and operating the electricity system.

The ESO, including all of its existing roles, will be at the heart of the new National Energy System Operator. As NESO, we will build on our existing roles, capabilities, and ways of working significantly to create an organisation the energy system and its users’ need. Our new capabilities will enable us to look across vectors, including electricity, natural gas and hydrogen, and crucially consider the trade-offs between them.

The organisation will be set up as a public corporation with its own Board of independent directors, with complete operational independence from government, the regulator and any and all commercial interest. As the ESO are today, NESO will be licenced and regulated by Ofgem through price control agreements and obligated to identify optimal solutions to system operations and planning in the most sustainable, affordable and secure way for all.

The time to deliver is now. As part of our team, you won’t just be touching the lives of almost everyone in Great Britain - you’ll be shaping the way we use and consume energy for generations to come.

**Key accountabilities**:

- Supporting the Procurement Manager in driving value creation across the procured spend base, through mechanisms such as volume leverage, quality, forecasting efficiency, supplier innovation, non-traditional markets and optioneering, to ensure the FSO receives value for money.
- Supporting the delivery of a portfolio of strategic sourcing events within category groups, identifying best sourcing strategies and leading events from market engagement through to award.
- Developing insights to input into the category management planning process through research and analysis of supply markets and other characteristics of the procurement market; keep up-to-date with developments and emerging supplier trends.
- Collating data on spend performance and other metrics, providing analysis and recommendations for action; feedback to Procurement Manager for reporting purposes to provide a holistic picture of procurement activity.
- Ensuring risks are identified and work with the Procurement Manager to mitigate them to prevent any disruptions to timely procurement delivery.
- Ensuring a systematic approach to managing spend across all FSO procurement is adopted, in line with the direction from the Procurement Manager.
- Maintaining knowledge of the FSO’s policies and frameworks for contract and supplier management, ensuring compliance with the relevant processes and escalating issues as they arise.

**About you**:
What we do isn’t just important - it’s essential. That’s why we look to recruit experts in their field. In this case, we’re looking for someone who has:

- Previous experience of understanding, identifying and executing multiple opportunities across a range of spend categories to deliver value.
- Experience with SAP, S4Hana, Ariba or Coupa would be useful.
- Supply chain management experience in complex environments.
- Track record of driving value beyond straightforward procurement saving; usage of lean techniques to identify and eliminate waste and identify income opportunities in the extended value chain.
- Good influencing and negotiation skills to drive optimum value through the award of commercially sound contracts.
- Excellent interpersonal and stakeholder management skills; able to communicate effective
