Southampton, United Kingdom Carnival UK Full time

We recognise the value in having people with a variety of backgrounds, experience and skills in our business. That means the role requirements here should be seen as a guide, not a checklist. If you have more, less or different experiences, but really relevant skills, we’d love to hear from you.

We work flexibly and will help you to find a healthy balance of remote working and time in our fantastic Southampton office, collaborating, taking part in events and getting to know people that makes working with us so rewarding. We welcome the opportunity to discuss reduced hours and job share arrangements.

**The Role**

Working within Supply Chain as part of a Category Procurement team, this role will manage the day-to-day purchasing activity of goods and/or services that support the Carnival UK fleet of 11 Cruise ships and business across both of our iconic brands (P&O Cruises and Cunard).

This is an exciting role collaborating across the business and alongside key stakeholders, overseeing the purchasing process of hotel products including crew uniform, crockery and cooking equipment.

Responsibilities include:

- Acting as the liaison between the Carnival UK Fleet and shore side supporting teams relating to commercial supply matters
- Responsibility for the full end to end purchasing process from sourcing against a definition of need (requisition / specification) through to confirmation of delivery and supplier payment. This is achieved through collaborating closely with the various business partners from product specialists, through supply chain, logistics and ship staff
- Utilising agreed Corporate or Local price agreements to obtain best efficiency and cost savings for the overall benefit of Carnival UK and Carnival Corporation
- Instigate and conduct supplier meetings where appropriate to support operational objectives

Our role categories range from CUK15 (entry level) to CUK1 (Brand President) so you can clearly see internal development opportunities. This role is a CUK09 and is offered on a full time, permanent basis, with at least two days based in our Southampton office.

**About You**

- Purchasing experience with previous experience in relevant categories is an advantage
- Proven supplier and stakeholder management experience
- An efficiency in Microsoft Office, particularly Microsoft Excel
- Commercially astute analytical capability

**Being part of our team has its advantages**
