Sound like you? To apply you need to be:

Adroit and experienced

You’ll need to have at least eight to ten years of practice in applying your detailed know- how of the various procurement facets, principles, and approaches, including, among others: supplier marketplace; key drivers and levers; supply base and balance of power; spend category; and sourcing management.

Sound knowledge of corporate regulations and legislation will also be useful in creating binding group contracts.

Money savvy

An ability to manage spend wisely so that it aligns with the business targets is essential. If you have this, we’ll expect you to be good in fulfilling commitments in terms of supply, quality, innovation, and risk management. You’re also skilled in putting the budget to the best use possible—ultimately, achieving cost excellence.

A proven relationship builder

You’ll be used to effectively communicating with and engaging stakeholders—be they your own team members, colleagues, or external clients. Handling complex conversations with business partners and executive decision makers, and “selling” to them the benefits of procurement would come naturally to you.
