About the Role
Graduates and early‑career candidates who are keen to develop a career in Procurement are warmly welcomed to apply. We are looking for Procurement Coordinators to support the work of the Procurement Office. This role will offer a breadth of experience, working both with suppliers and University stakeholders to ensure that the full benefits of procurement activities are realised, that procurement initiatives are delivered effectively, and that target savings and efficiencies are achieved.
Procurement at Warwick is diverse, exciting and challenging and offers the opportunity to make a real contribution to the University. The role involves managing cross‑functional project teams, building relationships with stakeholders and suppliers, working within defined procurement and audit procedures, and driving the best commercial outcomes for Warwick.
We impact over £230M of the University’s expenditure across a broad range of category areas including Estates and FM, Academic activities, Commercial, Professional Services, IT and Office, and Library services.
About You
You will have strong general administrative experience, with excellent IT skills (especially in SAP and Excel) and an aptitude to quickly learn new systems. You will work to tight deadlines and demonstrate excellent teamwork with colleagues across the Team and wider stakeholder groups. A proactive attitude, enthusiasm, self‑motivation and flexibility are essential.
Previous experience working in procurement would be ideal, but what matters most is a clear interest in a career in Procurement, awareness of procurement processes, financial control and value for money.
About the Department
