- You will continually develop and manage a diverse global supplier base, ensuring consistent supplier quality, assurance, regulatory compliance, and service alongside driving cost savings and creative innovation.
- You will market yourself internally as the go-to expert within your category - proactively developing your knowledge and expertise whilst remaining abreast of relevant market news, intelligence, and data.
- You will partner with broader manufacturing, supply chain and finance teams to enable creative efficiency and innovation activities.

- An analytical mindset and a keen eye for detail, familiar with conducting spend analysis and reporting activities and then using these to inform strategic plans and roadmaps.
- A results-driven attitude, focused on proactively solving problems and working in close conjunction with your suppliers and stakeholders to drive forward progress.
