To succeed in this role, you will have:
- A strong background in leading end-to-end technology sourcing and supplier management processes - encompassing as broad a range of subcategories as possible.
- You will have previously worked for a large blue-chip organisation with a broad matrix stakeholder group where you have had to persuade and influence senior stakeholders.
- A keen interest in, understanding of and penchant to remain up to date on technologies and their impact on global business is essential.
- An analytical mindset and a keen eye for detail, familiar with conducting spend analysis and reporting activities and then using these to develop strategic plans and roadmaps.
- Previous experience managing a technology spend portfolio in excess of $500 million.
- A results-driven attitude, focused on proactively solving problems and working in close conjunction with your suppliers and stakeholders to drive forward progress.
- Masters/MBA educated or relevant equivalent experience.
