  • Support procurement activities associated with warehouse leasing and site-related requirements , working with relevant internal and external stakeholders.
  • Conduct cost analysis, price benchmarking, bid comparison and commercial evaluation to support sourcing and investment decisions.
  • Develop sourcing strategies, identify suitable suppliers and service providers, manage RFQ/RFP processes and lead commercial negotiations.
  • Assess supplier proposals beyond headline pricing, considering total cost, commercial terms, service capability, operational requirements and potential risks.
  • Work closely with

Operations, Engineering, Finance, Legal and other cross-functional teams to translate business requirements into effective procurement solutions.

  • Experience related to warehouse sites, facilities, real estate procurement, site procurement or logistics operations would be highly relevant.
  • Strong experience in cost analysis, commercial evaluation, benchmarking and supplier negotiation .
  • Demonstrated ability to manage procurement projects end-to-end , rather than focusing only on individual stages of the sourcing process.
  • Strong commercial judgement and the ability to evaluate different sourcing options in complex or less-standardised situations.
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced and evolving organisation where processes may still be developing.
  • Strong stakeholder management skills and the ability to work effectively across procurement, operations, engineering, finance and other functions.
  • Proactive, hands-on and solutions-oriented, with a strong sense of ownership.
  • Fluent English communication skills.

Why Join?
