Joining our Procurement and Supply Chain Management team presents you with a great opportunity to embark on an immensely varied career. You’ll learn about how we make build vs buy decisions, design supply chains, provide sourcing expertise and leverage third-party relationships to maximise value and support business growth. The members of our teams often say that there is no typical day in the life of a Procurement and Supply Chain professional. We touch every kind of project, so you might find yourself doing in-depth spend reviews, building sourcing strategies, supporting supplier innovation days, identifying value chain opportunities, conducting supplier performance reviews or supporting bids teams.
