Experience in procurement/subcontract management - negotiation, contract and/or terms and conditions management

Business, procurement or supply chain qualification/accreditation (degree/CIPS) or equivalent experience

Day-to-day problem solving and challenging for resolution

Reporting and co-operation with senior internal and external stakeholders

Continually improving opportunities, analyse situations and present possibilities, whilst balancing risk

Flexibility and adaptability to build relationships with global suppliers

What to expect:

We offer opportunities for career progression, paid overtime (subject to level), bonus scheme, comprehensive pension package, annual salary review, collaborative working environment and excellent on-site facilities.
