Description

Manchester Met is a great, modern university, in a great global city, with an annual non-pay spend of £125 million and creates over 20,000 purchase orders each year.

The Procurement Team ensures that value for money is at the heart of every pound spent, across a wide range of purchases including:

Construction
Building and equipment maintenance
Building compliance
IT hardware and software
Facilities management
Business services
Catering

The Procurement Systems Team work together to provide training and assistance to colleagues, as well as providing admin support to the wider Procurement Services team.

You will primarily provide first line support to the University's Business Travel Service, to help
colleagues when making business travel arrangements.

Previous experience in a travel booking/agency role is desirable.

However, you will also be required to work across other systems during busy periods, including, the purchase to pay system, purchasing card administration and the e-tendering system, making this role diverse and flexible.

You should be able to demonstrate strong administration and organisational skills with a flexibility to prioritise workload based on the changing demands on the Procurement Team.

You must be able to work collaboratively as part of a team, whilst taking responsibility for your own areas of work.

Manchester Metropolitan University is committed to supporting the rights, responsibilities, dignity, health and wellbeing of staff and students through our commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion.
