Tactical Sourcing Specialist

Our global pharma client is looking for a proactive, tenacious and highly organised Tactical Sourcing Specialist to join their Purchasing team on a 12 month contract.

This is a highly operational procurement role — perfect for someone who enjoys keeping things moving, chasing actions, coordinating stakeholders and making sure nothing gets left sitting in someone’s inbox. We are looking for someone that ~ sees an outstanding action and thinks, “I’ll sort that”,  and then actually does...

 

You’ll provide hands-on support across a range of tactical procurement activities, including:

Supplier onboarding: coordinating activity, following up with suppliers and internal stakeholders, and driving actions through to completion

 

• Fx administration: preparing documentation, coordinating supplier responses and keeping timelines on track
• Contract administration: maintaining accurate records and supporting contract extensions and related activities
• PO compliance: reviewing reports, following up with business partners and helping identify and resolve issues
• Procurement coordination: managing multiple activities, tracking owners and deadlines, and escalating blockers when required

 

Quite simply, someone who gets things done.

You’ll be someone who:

• Is tenacious: if you don’t get a response, you chase it
• Is proactive: you don’t wait to be told what needs doing
• Is organised: you can manage multiple actions, stakeholders and deadlines at once
• Takes ownership: you see things through rather than passing them on
• Has confidence: you’re comfortable communicating with suppliers and internal stakeholders
• Has great attention to detail: you understand the importance of accurate records, compliance and process

Previous Purchasing / Procurement experience is essential, with experience in areas such as supplier onboarding, RFx administration, contract administration or PO follow-up highly desirable.

If you’re the kind of person who likes a busy to-do list, knows how to chase without being chased, and gets genuine satisfaction from closing down actions and keeping procurement activity moving, we’d love to hear from you.

Hybrid working with a minimum of 2 days per week on site.
