- Create, maintain, and coordinate orders through the Coupa system.
- Support pricing coordination and help maintain high-quality commercial data.
- Develop and maintain tender content, ensuring it is evidence-based, relevant, and aligned with customer requirements.
- Gather input, examples, and information from internal teams to strengthen tender submissions and commercial proposals.
- Capture and promote examples of innovation, service improvement, best practice, and successful project delivery across the organisation.
- Support planning activity for new contract mobilisations and contract transitions.
- Maintain mobilisation trackers, action logs, project documentation, and progress updates.
- Coordinate actions between teams, follow up outstanding tasks, and help ensure milestones are achieved.
- Arrange meetings, prepare agendas, take minutes, and track agreed actions through to completion.
- Produce clear updates and reports to support effective oversight of mobilisation activity.
- Identify opportunities to improve processes, documentation, and ways of working across Commercial Operations.
