This is a company that genuinely puts its people first, recognising that employee growth is the foundation of their ongoing success.
About the role:

You'll achieve this by:
- Developing and executing category sourcing strategies that reflect sector-specific needs, balancing quality, cost and sustainability.
- Identifying cost-saving opportunities and implementing efficient procurement processes without compromising quality or service delivery.
- Identifying, evaluating and onboarding suppliers, then negotiating contracts and terms that meet sector-specific and regulatory requirements.

- Conducting market analysis and research to track sector trends, pricing, innovation and regulatory change, and adapting strategy accordingly.
- Maintaining accurate category and supplier data, managing client approved product lists, and championing system and data improvements.
- Owning supplier due diligence and risk management, ensuring robust processes are in place and risks are reported and tracked.
- Managing category budgets, income and discounts, and providing commercial recommendations to support wider business planning.
