About You

• Previous experience within a procurement or buying role, ideally within indirect procurement.
• Experience supporting RFx processes and supplier engagement activities.
• Strong organisational skills with excellent attention to detail.
• Commercially aware with an understanding of cost, value and supplier performance.
• Comfortable working with multiple stakeholders and managing competing priorities.

Desirable Experience
