• Supplier Management: Lead supplier relationship management, upholding high service and performance standards. Own ongoing tail management, identifying opportunities to consolidate the supplier base, mitigate risk, and maximise commercial leverage
• Contract Management & Compliance: Oversee contract management processes, including the use of OneTrust for contract lifecycle management. Ensure contracts are up-to-date, compliant, and accessible, working in close partnership with Legal and other internal stakeholders
• Governance & Risk Management: Ensure procurement practices are aligned with internal policies and legal requirements. Manage procurement risk proactively and promote ethical sourcing across all categories
• Technology & Reporting: Champion the use of current and other potential new procurement tools and platforms to enable process efficiency, spend transparency, and actionable reporting
