- Build close and trusted relationships with clients across the Director General led Rail Groups, advising customers on the procurement process and on the development of procurement strategies.
- As appropriate, support the strategic and operational framework management and re-procurement of frameworks by organising engagement events/meetings, and collating reports, risk logs and communications to senior stakeholders/ suppliers.
