What you'll do

You'll have experience of developing reporting and transitioning manual processes to online tooling, together with an understanding of supply chain models such as offshoring, outsourcing, utility, and make versus buy.
Furthermore, you'll demonstrate:
- Experience of applying supply chain and data analytical skills and techniques to impact business strategy and outcomes, supplier selection and supplier management
- Experience in developing executive-level reporting and drawing clear conclusions on benefit opportunities and risk exposure across internal and external supplier portfolios
