An incomparable graduate opportunity to gain a place on the 'Future Leaders Procurement Programme' with a global business.

The graduate programme is sponsored at the highest level of the business and you will become part of a dynamic working environment with plenty of opportunities to grow and develop over the two-year programme.

In the first year, you will work on skills such as stakeholder management and presentations, while in the second year you will move on to focus on managerial training.

The role will largely be a remote working role, though there are significant opportunities to travel globally as part of the role. What's more, you will have the option to be based in a different country for your second year if desired, whether that is within Europe, or the US depending on project focus. The client has 300+ offices based in over 30 countries.

The role:

  • You will be heavily involved in the Global Supplier Strategy deployment plan
  • You will work closely with the Global and European Procurement teams to develop and implement supplier strategy that supports our multi-year roadmaps

You will Learn:

  • Global Procurement strategy and gain a deep understanding of:
    • Global Tendering
    • Carriers Onboarding and Carriers
    • Supplier governance and Risk Management
    • Sustainability within Procurement

You will have:

  • Master's degree in any discipline, in addition to overall excellent academics
  • Up to two years of work experience, in any sector or role
  • A desire to join the fast-paced and diverse global business
  • Strong desire for a career in procurement
  • Excellent command of written and spoken English
  • You will be able to work independently and autonomously while being a strong team player
