INTERIM SENIOR BUYER IT
£500 per day (via Umbrella Company) 12-18 month contract
Location: Hybrid/Remote - Sites in the South East/Home Counties & North West
When recruiting a role that involves the protection of critical UK infrastructure, there's a temptation to get all James Bond about it.
We could try and get your attention by saying things like, "Have you dreamed of protecting the nation and being a national hero or heroine"?
But, let's face it, you're a Senior IT Category Buying Specialist. And high-speed car chases around UK cities aren't usually part of the job. Unless you've just dropped your caramel latte in your lap, perhaps.
However, this is a crucial role for our client, a global player within the specialist energy, electricity and power generation sector. Our client is offering a 12-18 months contract to join their IT procurement team.
They're focused on improving efficiency in their global operations and making sure their data and systems are secure and robust.
As such, they want to strengthen their IT procurement team with the appointment of a category and procurement management professional into the role of Senior Buyer/Category Specialist - IT.
That's where you fit in. And you won't need a car that turns into a submarine.
Currently, their IT Infrastructure, Cyber Defence and Application Development are outsourced. So, your focus will be on next generation outsourcing with high levels of customer satisfaction as a key driver for our client's IT strategy.
Reporting to a Senior Category Manager, you will also work closely with the IT/Information Technology team, and your role will take on a UK and European perspective.
Core Aims:
The Ideal Person will possess the following qualifications, experience, skills and competencies:
In return, our client offers a very competitive salary and blue-chip benefits package and the opportunity to develop your career within a market leader. The role is offered on a interim 12-18 month contract and hybrid/remote basis with regular visits to sites in the North West and Home Counties for cross-functional engagement.
