  • Continuous Improvement: Lead initiatives to continuously improve sourcing processes, identifying opportunities to refine category strategies and enhance service delivery.
  • Market Analysis: Stay informed on industry trends and market developments, using insights to shape best-in-class sourcing practices that drive total cost of ownership improvements.

Joining this team offers much more than just a job in procurement. You'll be part of a collaborative, supportive environment where everyone genuinely enjoys working together and contributing to a shared goal. The team culture is second to none-whether you're hanging out in the office or attending quarterly meetups, you'll feel the positive, inclusive atmosphere. You'll have the chance to juggle multiple tenders, work on a wide variety of projects, and engage with different internal stakeholders, keeping the role fresh and dynamic. The team is also deeply committed to continuous improvement, with monthly knowledge-sharing sessions, training opportunities, and workshops to ensure you grow professionally.

This is a multi-faceted role, handling everything from HR and professional services to facilities management and corporate comms. You'll have the opportunity to make a real difference, working on both large and smaller projects across different business units. With opportunities for progression, secondments, and the chance to be part of a team led by seasoned professionals, this is a role where you can truly thrive. Plus, performance-related pay reviews and flexible working arrangements make this an even more attractive opportunity.
