Key Responsibilities

  • Designing and running major procurements, helping clients to understand their requirement and how to leverage major procurements to improve their business.
  • Project managing and providing expert advice on the process of procurement, managing supplier engagement, evaluating tenders, negotiating and closing deals, and making the business case to launch procurements and award agreements.
  • Advising and putting the systems and processes in place to successfully transition from legacy to new frameworks and contracts, and to properly manage major contracts including the associated business change.
  • Reviewing client procurement and commercial team performance and identifying and leading programmes to restructure the function and improve capability.
  • Supporting to renegotiate and improve agreements or help resolve major disputes.
  • Providing effective commercial management for PA's largest complex assignments, often with large collaborative teams.

Requirements

  • Experience working with large and complex procurements, in any or all of equipment, digital services, and infrastructure.
  • Understanding of the procurement lifecycle and comfort around identifying procurement and commercial strategies, running the processes of sourcing, managing the evaluation of tenders, helping to negotiate and close deals, and properly managing major contracts.
  • Experience advising on contract terms and designing agreements to drive the best from a particular market.
  • Strong interpersonal skills, including recognizing how to manage multiple stakeholders.
  • Experience with major government procurements, including the approvals processes, is highly desired.
  • Familiarity using NEC contract forms would be an advantage.
  • Ideally possessing MCIPS or MRICS Chartered status.
  • Project management or financial management skills; this would be an advantage but can be learned.

What We Offer

  • Health and lifestyle perks accompanying private healthcare for you and your family.
  • 25 days annual leave (plus a bonus half day on Christmas Eve) with the opportunity to buy 5 additional days.
  • Generous company pension scheme.
  • Opportunity to get involved with community and charity-based initiatives.
  • Annual performance-based bonus.
  • PA share ownership.
  • Tax efficient benefits (cycle to work, give as you earn).

We recruit, retain, reward, and develop our people based solely on their abilities and contributions and without reference to their age, background, disability, genetic information, parental or family status, religion or belief, race, ethnicity, nationality, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity (or expression), political belief, veteran status, or other by any other range of human difference brought about by identity and experience.
