The successful applicant will play a key role in supporting all areas of the Council in striving to make Powys a Stronger, Fairer and Greener county. Your focus will be on providing advice to senior managers and elected members on procurement and commercial matters, whilst also leading a small team of procurement and commercial experts.

About the role: You will provide effective leadership on procurement and commercial matters, leading a key team that acts as an enabling function to help service area teams achieve their strategic commissioning aims and secure operational, financial and social value objectives. Whilst driving procurement effectiveness you will also play a key role in supporting commissioning strategy development across the Council and improving Contract Management skills and practices.

About you: We are seeking a MCIPS qualified procurement professional with public sector experience, alongside a track record of delivering commercial improvement. You will have at least five years’ experience within the public sector and be adept at driving the highest standards and identifying value for money whilst knowing what it takes to maintain a strong, effective performance culture while being able to navigate a large, complex political environment working with elected Members. About Powys The county of Powys is a great place to work and live with beautiful landscapes, green open spaces and vibrant communities. We are proud of our Welsh and cultural heritage, and you might know us too for being home to the well-known events such as the Hay and Green Man festivals and the Royal Welsh Show. Spend your weekends exploring the 2,000 square miles of countryside and having great adventures… there’s something to do for everyone — wildlife enthusiasts, walkers, mountain bikers and horse riders. Sport addicts have plenty of choice with a range of local football, rugby, cricket and golf clubs to choose from. Powys has a community spirit and togetherness with strong local neighbourhood networks. It’s also about well-being and offering safe and supportive communities to live in. It is a county to explore, live, grow and invest, a place to call home. In return, we offer an excellent work-life balance with fantastic benefits – including a competitive salary, excellent annual leave entitlement, development opportunities, a relocation package, and much more.
