The role will also lead on sustainability matters for the Indirect Procurement team.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Working with the Group Procurement Director to deliver the new organisation structure, in parallel supporting the continued evolution of the Procurement operating model.
  • Developing and optimising clear, consistent procurement standards and ways of working across Procurement, driving functional efficiency and effectiveness.
  • Leading the Group Procurement Training Academy.

What You'll Bring:

  • Proven experience in procurement leadership, with a strong track record of delivering strategic category management initiatives.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to build strong relationships with stakeholders at all levels.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to interpret complex data and drive business improvement.
