- Influence senior stakeholders to align strategies with business needs, resolve issues, and champion change management initiatives.
- Deliver ambitious savings targets across CAPEX and OPEX categories while ensuring full compliance with policies and governance frameworks.
About You
You will bring a strategic mindset, commercial acumen, and the ability to influence at all levels. With proven experience in managing complex procurement categories, you will combine analytical thinking with strong stakeholder engagement skills to deliver measurable value and embed procurement excellence across the business.
- Demonstrate expertise in category management, sourcing strategies, and supplier relationship management within indirect spend areas.
- Possess advanced negotiation and influencing skills, with the ability to secure stakeholder buy-in and deliver cost optimisation.
- Apply strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities to identify savings opportunities and drive continuous improvement.
- Communicate confidently and effectively, presenting complex data and strategies to senior stakeholders.
