We're looking for a leader who enjoys bringing people together, solving complex challenges and creating positive change.

You may come from a procurement technology, analytics, reporting or business intelligence background and will be comfortable working across multiple stakeholder groups.

This is an exciting time to join a procurement function that is investing in technology, data and capability development.

You'll have the opportunity to influence strategy, lead a highly visible area of the business and work alongside colleagues who are committed to innovation, collaboration and continuous improvement.

In return, you'll find an environment where new ideas are welcomed, development is encouraged and people are empowered to make a meaningful contribution.

If you're excited by the opportunity to combine technology, data, leadership and transformation in a role where you can genuinely shape the future, we'd love to hear from you.
