Similarly, you will have exposure to a wide range of functions/ disciplines within the company to build a network in order to deliver the contract. This is not a job for a completer/finisher; or for the faint hearted, but for someone who is not shy to speak up, question and get answers, whilst maintaining good relationships with stakeholders of all levels, as well as being a whizz at data manipulation and analysis –
This role is internally referred to as Procurement Programmes Specialist, but don’t let the title fool you as this is a management level role within the company and carries much responsibility.

Any new items required by the customer, needing to be developed, will also sit under your accountability holding the purse strings for your allotted customer.
You will be assigned one or more customer projects that you will own cradle to grave as the Integrated Project Team (IPT) lead for Procurement.
You are not a programme manager, but you will be managing elements of a programme
You are not a buyer, but will need to act on their behalf ensuring they have what they need
You are not a data analyst, but will be manipulating information across several software platforms to create reports.
You are the main interface between purchasing and the rest of the company and this is most effective in person/on site however flexible working is available, giving you an opportunity to work from home.
