Detail information about job EXCEPTIONAL PROCUREMENT OPPORTUNITY. Terms and conditions vacancy
- Exceptional and secure senior role with potential to grow
- A variety of categories to manage - plus broader input
- Outstanding opportunity to be involved "end to end"
Whilst not a management role, we're after someone who has operated at a senior level, but simply loves the "cut and thrust" of procurement! Reporting to a highly regarded and experienced Procurement Manager, your procurement specialty will place you at the top of your game! With a series of projects on the go, categories to manage effectively, this Procurement Specialist role offers huge variety as well as future opportunity for additional categories and advancement.
The ideal person will have multi-faceted experience across a wide range of categories so you can "rove" across a number of projects.
Your prime responsibility will be undertaking needs analysis and planning in your allocated categories and the key negotiation with suppliers. You will also ensure you maintain market intelligence and ensure all stakeholders are kept up-to-date with any changes to the relevant categories. You will then plan and execute the strategy, draft and present all documentation associated with the action plan, and project manage the process. Included also is developing reports which identify savings and communicate this to appropriate stakeholders. Your leadership will be demonstrated by taking ownership of categories, supporting your other colleagues, and communicating the benefits to the organisation.
Because of the diversity of stakeholders, you will need to have very strong relationship management skills, and excellent written communication skills that don't require checking!
We're after someone with relevant commercial tertiary qualifications and ideally we'd like someone who is CIPS qualified. An absolute minimum of 5 years in mainstream procurement is essential, and experience in the wider supply chain field will be seen as advantageous, as will project management experience. Category planning, contract and supplier negotiation and development, strategic sourcing, and identifiable cost saving and other value add are a given as necessary experience.
But it goes without saying, that your track record in procurement will be verifiable by successful outcomes, and examples aligned to this type of work.
Fit-wise, we need someone who is an exemplary communicator, able to work independently as well as effectively in a team, has strong "soft" skills, and is not daunted by unexpected change.
On offer is an excellent salary that will reflect the skills and experience you can bring to this exciting and challenging role
If you have this experience and you think this could be for you, then please send your CV and a cover letter to me by clicking on "apply" and following our registration process. If you'd like more detail, then please call Kevin Chappell on 0295 974739.
PLEASE NOTE THAT ONLY THOSE WITH NZ EXPERIENCE, OR A COMPARATIVE COMMERCIAL ENVIRONMENT SUCH AS THE UK, AUSTRALIA, NORTH AMERICA, OR SOUTH AFRICA, WILL BE CONSIDERED FOR THIS ROLE.
