Procurement Specialist in Desford

Job description

Associate Procurement Professional

Location: Desford

Working Hours: 08:00–16:00 (core hours)

Contract Duration: 12 months (with potential for extension)

Work Arrangement: Fully on-site

Are you ready to take the next step in your procurement career? We're looking for a proactive and detail-oriented Associate Procurement Professional to join a dynamic team in Desford. This is a hands-on role offering exposure to a wide range of indirect purchasing categories, from facilities and services to operational supplies.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Variety & Impact: One day you might be sourcing materials for a canteen renovation, the next ordering paint for site improvements.
• Autonomy & Growth: You'll have the freedom to manage your own projects and contribute to meaningful cost-saving initiatives.
• Collaborative Environment: Work closely with stakeholders across all levels and be part of a supportive, fast-paced team.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead or support procurement projects with cross-functional stakeholder engagement.
• Negotiate contracts covering IP, liability, warranties, and termination clauses.
• Deliver tangible savings and process improvements.
• Ensure accuracy and compliance in procurement documentation.
• Uphold ethical standards and transparency in all purchasing activities.

What We’re Looking For

• Recent experience in contract negotiation (beyond pricing).
• Proven ability to lead/co-lead projects and engage stakeholders.
• Strong attention to detail and problem-solving skills.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Excel; PowerBI experience is a plus.
• Familiarity with procurement processes, supply chain principles, and financial analysis.

Qualifications

Formal qualifications are not required—relevant experience will be considered.
