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.

Experience related to warehouse sites, facilities, real estate procurement, site procurement or logistics operations would be highly relevant.

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.
