About the Role

You’ll have an important part to play supporting the Procurement Manager in leading and managing the procurement of indirect goods and services. You will provide a timely and cost-effective procurement category strategy and expertise to stakeholders across the Unipart portfolio of sites and clients.

Here at Unipart we don’t just have a way of working, we have The Unipart Way. It allows everyone in our team to pursue their own personal and professional goals to a world class level, through Unipart's ‘Gate to Great’ training and development program.

Develop and implement commercial sourcing strategies for indirect services and goods, delivering VFM and cost reduction across multiple categories, sectors, and clients
Ensure suitable ongoing contractual coverage for key services and goods, reviewing and negotiating contract terms to mitigate commercial exposure to Unipart
Manage key supplier relationships for long-term strategic partnering and benefit opportunities
Support internal stakeholders and commercial account teams through key supplier performance reviews, engagement, and presentations to clients
Implement procurement policies, processes, and procedures to help protect and advance the business, acting as an expert point of contact for senior stakeholders
Manage change by effective procurement leadership through utilisation of The Unipart Way principles and deputising for the Procurement Manager when required

About You

We’d love you to have the following skills and experience, but please apply if you think you’d be able to perform well in this role!

Previous experience in multiple category sourcing, delivering significant savings and innovative solutions
Strong negotiation skills and an understanding of standard terms and conditions to mitigate legal and commercial risk.
Excellent relationship-building skills and the ability to confidently influence senior-level internal and external stakeholders.
