• Provide learners with the skills and confidence to operate effectively under the new regulatory regime, utilizing its flexibilities to achieve better procurement outcomes.
• Develop and provide subject-matter expertise in creating learning content for various procurement-related topics.
• Leverage your expertise to generate and win new business opportunities within procurement learning and other transformation-related projects.

What We Are Looking For:

• Proven experience in educating, enthusing, and coaching with a learner-focused approach.
• Detailed knowledge of procurement processes, including category management, strategic sourcing, and contract management.
• Experience in leading and managing procurement capability within the public sector.
• Working knowledge of the end-to-end procurement lifecycle and core public procurement policies and regulations, including the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 and the new procurement legislation.
• Demonstrable experience in designing and implementing procurement operating model changes.

Desirable Skills and Experience:

• Experience with Defence and Security Public Contracts Regulations 2011 and Utilities Contracts Regulations 2016.
• Knowledge of advanced procurement analytics techniques and tools.
• Experience in change management within complex public sector environments.
• Affiliation with a commercial professional body such as the Chartered Institute of Procurement & Supply (CIPS).
• Awareness of current procurement technology trends and providers like Jaggaer, Oracle, Atamis, SAP/Ariba, and Coupa.

Join us as a Procurement Transformation Lead and help shape the future of procurement within the public sector. Apply now to make a significant impact through your expertise and leadership in procurement transformation.
