• Supplier Onboarding: Ensuring suppliers meet all necessary conditions to work with (e.g. Know Your Supplier and Data Security), and implementing contracts. 
• Procurement Administration: Performing administrative tasks on various procurement resources, including the procurement system and supplier folders.

The position offers the opportunity to take on responsibility in your role, and with time, the chance to progress within the team, and receive full support with your CIPS qualification.

• Prior Experience: You’ve gained hands-on experience from a structured internship or placement in (for example) Procurement, Supply Chain, Finance or Analytics.
• Education: Bachelor's Degree (obtained by the role start date) and English proficiency. 

What you can expect

• High level of autonomy and ownership of the role from day one
• A team-oriented, strongly supportive culture emphasizing transparency, continuous feedback, professional development, and celebrating wins.
