Working within a small, yet high profile team you get to engage proactively in procurement across the organisation to ensure that we maintain a joined-up approach and support the continuity of an outstanding procurement function. Our key focus is to drive cost efficiencies in organisation and deliver transparent and reportable value that can be reflected in our bottom line.
