Manage the details that keep purchasing on track

In this role, youll be part of a growing centralised buying function at FCDO Services joining at a point where the team is shaping how purchasing support will work in the future. Youll process purchasing requests, check requisitions and paperwork, gather the right approvals and help make sure Purchase Orders are raised on time. Taking responsibility for receipting processes, maintaining accurate records across systems and trackers, and ensuring reliable data is available to support the smooth delivery of day-to-day operations.

Youll enjoy working with people and building relationships across different areas of the business, explaining processes clearly and helping colleagues get things right. A customer-focused approach will go a long way, as will being a supportive team player who can also work independently when needed. Experience in administration, purchasing and/or customer services would be useful.
