Description
Our whole approach is changing. No longer simply managing tenders or minimising costs; customer focus, stakeholder management and sustainability are now at the heart of everything we do. And managing our high value contracts you'll see we make responsible choices - improving the way we work here and across Europe.



It's a big task, so we'll rely on your strategic flair and commercial focus to lead and drive change in our key procurement activity. Not to mention legal knowledge and the confidence to influence and negotiate to ensure the right suppliers are chosen. Working closely with your team too, you'll see they share your passion for doing things better. And you'll strive to develop their skills as well as your own. Your rapport with our stakeholders will be just as strong, and you'll gain their support to see changes are made.



The result: we'll become more efficient, delight our customers and even cut our carbon footprint. While our inspirational working culture will stretch and challenge you like never before.



Say goodbye to cutting costs alone, say hello to a career with value. Your energy shapes the future.

There have been some very exciting developments in UK procurement and supply chain, adding to the already vital role we play in supplying the business with essential products and services. Major work is being carried out on measuring and reducing the carbon footprint of our supply chain as well as working on a responsible procurement policy pushing green initiatives. We have also been busy conducting a huge survey of our customers internally and now have an action plan that will allow us to drive change to deliver over and above our customers expectations every time.



Giving ourselves challenges drives us forward, and this time we have given ourselves a big one. Our "perform to win" project tasks the UK to deliver 1.5 billion Euros in savings and performance improvements and UK Supply chain will play a huge part in driving and leading change to deliver that target.



Procurement and Supply Chain Management at our company is more than just reducing costs and managing tenders. Stakeholder management, innovation, the courage to challenge, drive and lead changes and improvements in performance are playing a bigger part than ever.
