Key Attributes

The day-to-day role will require you to work with internal stakeholders from across the business, (regional and international). This will require a well-rounded, deep technical and operational knowledge of procurement and supply chain management, ideally gained from experience working successfully for established client organisations, consultants and/or contractors on large-scale programmes and projects. This will need to be combined with a genuine flair for stakeholder management, strategic thinking, leadership, networking, and ability to build strong working relationships that deliver results.

You will bring an expert understanding of supply markets and how to translate market intelligence data into usable and valuable information for the business and our clients. 

Energy and drive will be essential attributes at your disposal, alongside a natural motivation to keep procurement at the forefront of best practice: constantly looking beyond existing boundaries to identify innovative approaches and best practice regionally and internationally that will deliver improved outcomes for us and our clients.

The role currently has limited direct line management responsibility, however, as we build and establish the procurement capability within the Region, internal stakeholders from across the business will look to you to provide insight, advice, support and guidance on engagement with our supply chain partners. Additionally, the role will involve ensuring compliance with governance, where the ability to work collaboratively, build strong relationships, but also hold others to account will be critical.
