Procurement Associate - London, United Kingdom - AlphaSights
Description
About this role
This is a role based in our London Office, assisting the Procurement Director in managing a global spend portfolio. Sitting within the global Finance function, and working closely with senior stakeholders in Operations, Legal and Finance, the Procurement Associate will be involved in the management of a multi-million-pound spend across a range of procurement categories. These categories principally include: software, IT infrastructure, professional services, HR services, facilities management, insurance and utilities.
The associate will be reporting into the Procurement Director who is tasked with both designing and executing intelligent and efficient procurement processes. The successful candidate should be a team player and will be focused primarily on the tactical elements of supplier relationships at AlphaSights. This individual will also have a direct effect on how the strategic goals of the procurement function are set going forward. The successful candidate will require a pragmatic approach, necessitated by our rapidly-evolving, high-growth environment.
We view procurement not as a central policing function, rather as a strategic partner to ensure we continue to optimise vendor contracts, value for money, supply chain, risk profile, and internal processes. This is an ideal opportunity for a young procurement professional to make their mark on a dynamic, high-growth firm seeking to optimise procurement.
