About The Role
As the Process and Systems Lead, you will drive the continuous improvement of supply chain processes, systems, and ways of working across the organisation. Working closely with procurement, supply chain, and business stakeholders, you'll lead transformation initiatives that enhance capability, improve user experience, strengthen compliance, and embed best practice.

Why This Role Matters
The Process & Systems Lead plays a critical role in delivering value, managing risk, and supporting organisational performance.

By leading continuous improvement and transformation initiatives, you'll help build a more capable, data-driven, and efficient supply chain function. Your work will directly contribute to improved stakeholder experiences, stronger supplier management, increased adoption of best practice, and the achievement of wider business and ESG objectives.
