Are you ready to take the next step in your procurement career? We're looking for a proactive and detail-oriented Associate Procurement Professional to join a team in Desford. This is a hands-on role offering exposure to a wide range of indirect purchasing categories, from facilities and services to operational supplies.
Why This Role Stands Out
Variety & Impact: One day you might be sourcing materials for a canteen renovation, the next ordering paint for site improvements.
Autonomy & Growth: You'll have the freedom to manage your own projects and contribute to meaningful cost-saving initiatives.
Collaborative Environment: Work closely with stakeholders across all levels and be part of a supportive, fast-paced team.
Key Responsibilities
Lead or support procurement projects with cross-functional stakeholder engagement.
Negotiate contracts covering IP, liability, warranties, and termination clauses.
Deliver tangible savings and process improvements.
Ensure accuracy and compliance in procurement documentation.
Uphold ethical standards and transparency in all purchasing activities.
What We’re Looking For
Recent work in contract negotiation (beyond pricing).
Proven ability to lead/co-lead projects and engage stakeholders.
Strong attention to detail and problem-solving skills.
Proficiency in Microsoft Excel; PowerBI would be a plus.
Familiarity with procurement processes, supply chain principles, and financial analysis.
Qualifications
Formal qualifications are not required—relevant work will be considered.
