  • Drive standardised and centralised reporting (e.g. pricing, volumes, spend, savings, contracts, quarterly business reviews, etc.), support relevant category initiatives and coordinate with key partners to drive global contracting across Sky.
  • Have the ability to interface and influence across categories and companies. Build, maintain, and influence partner relationships across Sky to ensure clear alignment between procurement and wider business planning.
  • Lead a team of procurement professionals, support them on strategy, category plans and day to day activities to ensure they are seen as a trusted advisor to our business partners. Allocating and prioritising projects and mapping team members to key partner groups.
What you'll bring:
  • Industry Specialist: The depth and breadth of expertise in software.
  • Strategic Leadership: Extensive experience in establishing and driving the strategic direction for critical categories on a global basis, and to implement sub-initiatives under such higher-level strategy, and to lead team members.
  • Innovative attitude: The natural inclination to evaluate and challenge business-as-usual practices with an open-minded, always learning, and proactive approach, advised by a deep understanding of challenges across the software landscape.
  • Relationship Leadership Skills: To collaborate with others and establish relationships across multiple business units across international geographies.
  • Company-Minded: The lean-in and hands-on positive outlook of an owner, not a renter, with high standards for work performance, the commitment to always do the right thing, and the vision to improve procurement's contribution to the wider company's goals and objectives.
