This is a great opportunity for someone who loves getting into the detail, analysing spend and finding opportunities to do things better, smarter and more cost-effectively.
You’ll be given the opportunity to really get under the skin of their indirect services and supplier spend – looking at what’s currently in place, challenging where appropriate, negotiating new deals and identifying opportunities to drive cost savings and efficiencies across the business.

- Assessing current suppliers, contracts, and commercial agreements
- Identifying cost-saving and efficiency opportunities
- Negotiating and renegotiating supplier agreements
- Supporting sourcing and tendering activity across indirect services
- Benchmarking costs and challenging existing arrangements
- Using data and spend analysis to identify opportunities
- Working with internal stakeholders to understand requirements
- Driving tangible commercial value throughout the 6-month assignment
What I'm looking for:
Previous indirect procurement experience is essential for this one, ideally with strong exposure to indirect services.
You’ll also need:
- A proven track record of negotiation and delivering cost savings
- Strong commercial awareness
- Excellent supplier and stakeholder management skills
- Strong Excel and data analysis skills
- Confidence analysing spend and spotting opportunities
- The ability to hit the ground running and work independently
