Procurement Specialist

This role is all about variety! You’ll be running the sourcing activity for a digital marketing partner one day, renewing our cloud computing service licences another, and negotiating prices for tonnes of sustainable cards the next. We are a fast paced and enthusiastic team putting our stakeholders at the centre of what we do. At the same time we keep a keen eye on compliance and due diligence.

Key Responsibilities:

• Working with the Senior Procurement Manager to support all procurement activity across the Group.
• Delivering contract renewals and sourcing activity across all categories.
• As a listed company, our focus is on compliance and due diligence. We work together with our Legal, Security and DPO teams to ensure we have robust controls in place with our supplier relationships, both new and old.
• Working to deliver savings against budget and liaising with business stakeholders to define requirements and run sourcing activity.
• Focus on sustainability in the coming year, and ensure our suppliers work in a sustainable manner supporting the company ESG strategy.
• Providing ongoing support to key stakeholders across assigned categories.
• Focus on continuously shaping and developing assigned categories for maximum success.

You’ll be a good fit for the Procurement team if you:

• Have previous indirect procurement experience (contract renewals, sourcing and RFPs, category planning and tail-end management).
• Are a solid procurement generalist, working across multiple categories.
• Are a master at managing your own workload and can prioritise projects effectively.
• Identify as a self-starter who is determined to grow and progress in a role.
• Ideally have, or are working towards your CIPS qualifications.
• Consider yourself to be organised and confident in liaising with multiple internal teams to deliver a project.
• Love delivering for your stakeholders and getting the job done, but can manage expectations to deliver in the right way.
