About the Role
You'll be embedded within a large-scale customer transformation program, supporting strategic sourcing, commercial analysis, supplier engagement, and procurement governance across critical initiatives. This is not a traditional BAU procurement role. You'll be working closely with program leaders, consultants, vendors, and executive stakeholders to deliver commercial outcomes that support the success of a multi-year transformation.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead end-to-end RFx processes from market engagement through to evaluation, negotiation, and contract award.
- Deliver commercial analysis including spend reviews, cost modelling, pricing evaluations, and business case development.
- Support supplier selection, contract negotiations, governance frameworks, and supplier performance management.
- Partner with senior stakeholders across technology, operations, finance, legal, and transformation teams.
- Provide procurement expertise and commercial insights to support strategic decision making.
- Drive continuous improvement across procurement processes, reporting, and controls.
- 8+ years' experience in procurement, strategic sourcing, or commercial management within large corporate, regulated, or asset-intensive environments.
- Demonstrated experience leading RFx and sourcing activities end-to-end.
- Strong commercial acumen with proven experience in cost modelling, spend analysis, pricing evaluation, and delivering measurable savings.
- Experience managing supplier relationships, contracts, governance frameworks, and commercial risk.
- Comfortable influencing senior stakeholders and constructively challenging vendors, consultants, and business leaders.
- Strong systems capability across SAP and procurement platforms such as Ariba, Coupa, or Zycus, with advanced Excel and/or Power BI skills.
- MCIPS or related procurement qualifications will be highly regarded.
Beyond technical capability, we're seeking someone who is proactive, curious, and eager to learn. This environment moves quickly and rewards people who embrace change, build strong relationships, and contribute positively to a collaborative team. You'll bring the credibility of a seasoned procurement professional along with the energy and adaptability needed to succeed in a transformation setting
