Develop and implement category strategies aligned to business priorities, leveraging market intelligence, supplier insights, spend analytics, and demand management to drive measurable commercial outcomes and long-term value creation.
Act as a strategic business partner and trusted advisor to senior stakeholders, influencing sourcing decisions, challenging demand where appropriate, and ensuring alignment with organisational priorities.
Lead commercial negotiations with strategic suppliers, balancing cost, quality, service, innovation, and risk while fostering strong supplier relationships and partnership models.
Deliver robust financial and commercial analysis to support sourcing strategies, executive business cases, supplier decisions, and procurement recommendations.
Drive supplier performance and governance, ensuring appropriate risk management, compliance, and continuous improvement frameworks are embedded across key spend areas.
Collaborate cross-functionally with Finance, HR, Legal, Real Estate, Facilities, Procurement, and Business Leaders to deliver sourcing initiatives effectively and consistently across regions.
Shape and manage the sourcing pipeline, supporting procurement transformation objectives and contributing to broader Group procurement priorities.
Champion sourcing best practice, governance, and consistency across procurement activity, driving transparency, commercial rigour, and stakeholder engagement.
Mentor and support junior sourcing professionals, helping build capability and foster a high-performance, collaborative procurement culture.
Prepare and present executive-level insights, sourcing recommendations, and commercial outcomes to senior leadership.
