    • Contribute to the department targeted savings by challenging costs on a regular basis.
    WHAT YOU'LL BRING
    • Broad Procurement experience, ideally more focused on indirect spend.

    • Solid analytical skills, with the ability to create financial reports and conduct cost analyses
    • Previous experience in managing a RFP process
    • Strong negotiation skills
    • Confidence to challenge costs where appropriate to achieve savings
