- Champion improvement: Spot opportunities to make things better and help us evolve.
- Represent NTS: Be our voice at forums and ensure our processes shine.
- Live our values: Transparency, cooperation, continuous learning, and delivering on commitments.
What makes you awesome:
- Qualified and curious: CIPS Level 5 (or ready to achieve it within 12 months).
- Experienced: You've run compliant tenders, negotiated with suppliers, and worked under pressure.
- Knowledgeable: You understand Public Contracts Regulations, Procurement Act 2023, and Contract Law.
- Tech-savvy: Comfortable with systems like Atamis and Sage (or quick to learn).
- Driven and adaptable: You thrive on making decisions, managing priorities, and bringing energy to everything you do.
Why join us?
- You'll be part of a transformational journey—moving to Category Management and embracing new tech.
- You'll help shape a function that's becoming a strategic enabler for NTS.
- You'll work in a culture that values freedom to perform, helpfulness, and innovation.
Delegation: Sign off sourcing strategies/contracts up to £150k.
