We have identified an opportunity to deliver even more value to the business by up-weighting the team that focuses on the Corporate Services spend category within our wider GNFR spend base.

  • Strong negotiation skills and ability to drive performance from a diverse supply base
  • Able to develop strong stakeholder relationships and influence senior stakeholders
  • Ability to develop category strategies and identify strategic opportunities
  • Highly motivated and results driven
