  * Lead supplier negotiations and contracts to get the best commercial outcomes

  * Drive cost savings and efficiencies across your categories

  * Build strong, strategic supplier partnerships

  * Run tenders and continuously improve supplier performance

  * Play a key role in budgeting and managing Purchase Price Variance (PPV)

  * Collaborate across the business to deliver commercial and operational wins

  * Support ESG goals within the supply chain

  * Mentor team members and help raise the bar across procurement

What You’ll Bring

  * ERP/MRP system experience

  * Ability to influence, challenge, and deliver results

  * A proactive, hands-on approach with a focus on solutions
