Software Procurement Lead - Front Office Venture - Global FTSE 30 - London - £60 - 75k + Excellent Benefits

This global Professional Services giant is embarking on a £200m Front Office venture to generate significant revenue from SME clients, and with a wave of high-profile buy-to-sell Software projects looming the Firm is seeking a charismatic IT Procurement expert to spearhead this newly created team.

  • Initiating strategic relationships with niche IT Software & Cloud vendors to generate "win-wins" for the Firm and their suppliers

Required background:-

  • Exemplary Procurement, Strategic Sourcing & Category Management track record, with a CV that clearly demonstrates strong commercial achievements including cost savings, risk mitigation, stakeholder buy-in, strategic vendor alliances etc
  • Strong awareness of the IT Software supply market (essential) ideally with procurement knowledge across Functional / Digital Applications (not essential)
  • Degree, MCIPS, ITIL, Prince 2 qualifications preferred though not essential

This rare newly created Procurement opportunity will see you carving a name for yourself within the organisation, building a high-performing team and progressing towards Procurement Directorship.
