  • Proven experience in Procurement activity preferably public sector.
  • Knowledge and skill in Procurement process, including tendering and contract negotiation.
  • Effective communicator both verbally and in writing to internal and external collaborators.

  • Self- motivating with energy, drive, and resilience under pressure.

It would be great if you had:

  • General commercial awareness
  • Knowledge of eSourcing tools
  • Experience of working closely with multiple Public Body organisations
  • Professional Qualification in Procurement (or the desire and willingness to work towards)
