Lead supplier and contract management reviews to identify challenges and implement solutions.
Approve requisitions, execute cross-functional team (CFT) activities, and ensure delivery excellence.
Support change management initiatives by guiding stakeholders through new procurement systems and processes.
Communicate change effectively, deliver training, and track progress to ensure adoption.

Strong stakeholder management and influencing abilities.
Hands-on experience with change management.
Exceptional communication and negotiation skills, including at senior levels.
Solid commercial, contractual, and financial knowledge.
Fluent negotiation-level English.
Strong networking skills and ability to work independently or collaboratively. 

Desirable Extras
