  • Forge long-lasting relationships with an executive stakeholder community (e.g. FD, CFO, MD's and CEO's) demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of their drivers & requirements and use your Technology Procurement expertise to identify appropriate solutions
  • Manage a 30 strong team of global IT commodity experts including Global Category Managers, empowering them to aid the enhancement of procurement
  • Implement SRM Key Partner Programme and lead on GDPR and BREXIT Programmes
  • Be expected to hit and exceed an aggressive savings target

Required candidate:

This is a role sitting on the senior leadership team that does not come around too often, it offers you a fantastic opportunity within a global major and offers genuine progression to Vice President and a subsequent potential CPO opportunity.
