Contract and Supplier Manager Specialists

Our client is embarking on an exciting journey to change how Procurement is perceived and managed within its organisation. This is a great opportunity to be part of that journey…

Due to a recent restructure, and a move to Strategic Sourcing and Contract management, our client is looking for a number of Contract and Supplier Relationship Managers to join their team.
