About you
You’ll have extensive experience of procurement processes (including RFI, RFP, contract drafting, negotiation and supplier management) and know how to manage major suppliers.
Familiar with sourcing a wide range of products and services, your ability to negotiate complex contracts will be highly valued. Bringing a can-do approach, you’ll be able to evidence how you’ve mentored a team and fostered relationships with both internal stakeholders – some at senior level – and external suppliers, ideally in a Financial Services environment.
An excellent all-round communicator and presenter, you will be a confident, collaborative agent of change. And as a key member of our procurement function, you’ll have a vital role to play in identifying, reporting and mitigating third party risk
