Job Description

We’re transforming the way procurement works here at Asda. What does that mean for you? That you’ll be at the heart of decision-making and the forefront of our transformation journey.

Our team manages over £2.5billion of indirect/goods not for resale spend, and is on a journey to become a best in class function, with a broad agenda across all areas of procurement from sourcing and cost transformation, through to sustainability and management of some of our most strategic relationships.

With opportunities to join us across multiple levels & various categories including Technology, Marketing, Professional Services, Property & FM and Logistics/Supply Chain, you’ll support a range of commercial activities, dare to find new innovative ways to drive efficiency, and help us get that #2 share in Grocery. So we can offer our customers the best value possible. That’s what it means to put customers at the heart of everything. “Everything About Asda” With a turnover of over £20billion every year, over 2 million transactions every month, and around 141,000 dedicated Asda colleagues taking care of our customers every day, we're really a place that's got everything – for our customers and your career.

Your Role

If you are a Procurement expert who will enjoy the responsibility of delivering transformation activity, and helping ensure a best in class cost base within your assigned categories then this could be the opportunity for you.

You will lead the development and implementation of category strategies by providing thought and commercial leadership to cross functional colleagues and collaborating effectively in a complex environment.

Adept at applying a variety of commercial approaches to deliver real value for the business
Skilled in crafting and managing complex contracts.
Adept at balancing and anticipating the needs of various stakeholders.
Experience in influencing senior levels within a large organisation.
Agile and adaptable to support business needs in a dynamic transformation environment.
Personal drive to deliver at pace whilst working on a wide range of projects

Category Specifics
