Job Details

A FTSE 100 in Hampshire is looking for a Senior Buyer to join on a 6-month FTC and help the next phase of growth in a post-Covid environment.

This well-known travel organisation is flourishing on the bounce-back of covid and is looking to expand its fleet.

The current Senior Buyer has been seconded on a project to launch one of their biggest cruise liners to date and therefore this position will backfill their role.

As Senior Buyer you will work within the indirect team operating in the Marketing category.

This is an extremely exciting part of the organisation and you will have the opportunity to embark on a number of critical procurement projects across PR, advertising and events.

This is an excellent opportunity for any marketing enthusiasts that are looking for the opportunity to specialise in this category area.

As Senior Buyer you will be responsible for:

  • Manage the end-to-end procurement activity.
  • Lead all elements of the sourcing process on behalf of the business
  • Ownership of client relationships with the operations managers, Finance, Legal and project stakeholders
  • Be responsible for developing, implementing and leading sub-category sourcing strategy
  • Lead and execute the tendering, negotiating, and contract management activities within their category.
  • Manage the ongoing commercial, operational, quality and risk management requirements

The company is looking for individuals that have experience in indirect procurement and have strong contract knowledge.

They need someone that can optimise supplier performance and can get the maximum value and return on the contracts that they currently have in place.

This is an organisation that supports out-of-the-box thinkers and promotes even greater inclusion, fresh ideas and different perspectives.
