Serve as the commercial bridge between Finance and Legal teams. Aligning with corporate budgeting and forecasting needs, while also ensuring all third-party engagements are managed in parallel with the Legal function.
Manage end-to-end procurement activities including supplier relationships and contract performance, negotiating terms, monitoring KPls and promoting consistent, effective delivery.
