This role requires you to be proactive in identifying process enhancements while providing expert guidance on compliance matters—ensuring that every aspect of procurement supports organisational growth.

Oversee operational procurement activities including purchase order preparation, ensuring timely delivery of goods and services in accordance with service level agreements to maintain seamless business operations.

Collaborate closely with internal stakeholders across various departments to understand their requirements and deliver solutions that balance value creation, compliance standards, and effective risk management.

Support the onboarding process for new suppliers by ensuring alignment with third-party risk management policies, thereby safeguarding the organisation against potential vendor-related risks.

Monitor supplier performance consistently, address any issues proactively, and nurture relationships with key partners to drive continuous improvement and foster innovation within supplier networks.

Partner with Category Managers in executing category plans while contributing actively to the development of procurement strategies and ongoing improvement initiatives that enhance overall efficiency.

Facilitate communication between internal teams and external suppliers to ensure mutual understanding of expectations, fostering dependable partnerships built on trust and transparency.

Maintain accurate records of procurement activities using relevant systems and tools, supporting audit readiness and regulatory compliance throughout all stages of supplier engagement.
