A leading Facilities Management company is looking for an experienced Procurement Consultant to cover 12 months maternity leave.
In your role as a procurement consultant, you will be responsible for researching and analysing the supply marketplace of your given industry. This would include conducting market intelligence analysis by collecting data regarding patterns and costs.
There are many different types of procurement that you may encounter when working in this role and therefore lots of opportunities to specialise in areas that you are most interested in. If you are a strategic thinker you may prefer strategic sourcing which involves working with high-risk projects that have a high value. You also need a keen eye for details so that you can thoroughly test and analyse the market before making any sourcing decisions. However, you may enjoy working at a faster pace and would work better in an environment that necessitates spot buying. Unlike strategic sourcing, spot buying typically deals with low value goods or services and you must work fast by getting multiple quick quotes.
Roles & Responsibilities:
Deliver procurement advice to their client.
Create appropriate bids for new projects.
Be able to support managers' relationships with suppliers and support them during negotiations.
Communicate progress between the project team and clients.
Be able to advise on compliance with Public Contracts Regulations as well as the legislative requirements.
Manage deadlines and deliverables to clients.
Be able to write reports of a project's results and present recommendations.
Provide continual evaluation of how a project is sticking to budget. If there are variations, a procurement consultant must implement corrective actions.
