Within the role you will oversee and be accountable for all procurement activities including developing innovative sourcing strategies, management of the end-to-end supply chain, developing procurement strategies, and building strong supplier relationships to secure supply and manage demand to deliver current and future needs.

The role is hybrid so you can enjoy working from home and our office based in Warwick and also will require travelling to our site in Birmingham.

Provide relevant inputs into program/project sanctioning with internal and external stakeholders.
Drive successful program/project execution – incl. supplier coordination, claims mgmt. etc.
Proactively assess, and mitigate procurement-related risks (e.g., supply chain risks, cost escalations, project delivery risks) – regularly communicate to relevant stakeholders.
Continually track the supply markets, keeping abreast of developments, trends, risks and opportunities, ensuring continual engagement with existing and potential new suppliers and preparing mitigations.
Build and maintain robust systems to ensure supply chain inventory levels are managed to reduce/remove product supply risks, identified through robust analysis, working closely with BU project teams.
Lead project 'lessons learnt’ to provide feedback to category teams, business partner and Business Unit to incorporate learnings into future projects.
Maintain close working relationships with category leads including group procurement and business partners – foster "one team" mentality in approach to large programs/projects.
Ensure supply chain processes meet legal requirements and standards

What you'll need

As such, applicants must have the legal right to work in the UK without requiring sponsorship now or in the future under the UK points-based immigration system.
