Your new company
We are recruiting for an exciting Procurement Analyst role for a leading professional services firm in Central London. This organisation has a newly created/ greenfield procurement function which is in the growth phase, aiming to go from 1 to 4 heads in the next few months. The Procurement Director has been brought in to address the organisation's spend areas covering anything from IT, networks, HR, professional services, facilities etc, with a large focus on technology.
Your new role
As the Procurement Analyst, you will assist the procurement function in executing the procurement plans and strategies. This will involve analysing spend areas and categories of spend, clarifying budget requirements as well as obtaining sustainability data across your suppliers. This will be much needed in order for this organisation to hit their cost-savings targets. As well as the analytics, you will also be supporting supplier on-boarding and due diligence checks. If you have the experience, you will also support RFI processes, tender processes, supplier queries, and low value contract renewals.
What you'll need to succeed
To succeed in this role, you will be a strong communicator, and be proficient in Microsoft Excel. You will be highly analytical in order to work out procurement opportunities and efficiency across the business. You will be able to get into their London office twice per week and will be willing to take on a 6-month fixed-term contract, with the possibility for longer-term opportunities.
What you'll get in return
In return, you will get a FTSE250 business on your CV with the possibility of an extension/ permanent contract in future (though this is not guaranteed). You will gain experience supporting a wide range of IT procurement activities, giving you broad experience to take into your next role within Procurement. If you want to take on higher value procurement activities, this is certainly a possibility to grow within your career.
