recruiters
Our global pharma client is looking for a proactive, tenacious and highly organised Tactical Sourcing Specialist to join their Purchasing team on a 12 month contract.
This is a highly operational procurement role — perfect for someone who enjoys keeping things moving, chasing actions, coordinating stakeholders and making sure nothing gets left sitting in someone's inbox.
We are looking for someone that ~sees an outstanding action and thinks, "I'll sort that", and then actually does...
What will you be doing?
You'll provide hands-on support across a range of tactical procurement activities, including:
Supplier onboarding: coordinating activity, following up with suppliers and internal stakeholders, and driving actions through to completion
Fx administration: preparing documentation, coordinating supplier responses and keeping timelines on track
Contract administration: maintaining accurate records and supporting contract extensions and related activities
PO compliance: reviewing reports, following up with business partners and helping identify and resolve issues
Procurement coordination: managing multiple activities, tracking owners and deadlines,
and escalating blockers when required
What are we looking for?
Quite simply, someone who gets things done.
You'll be someone who:
Is tenacious: if you don't get a response, you chase it
Is proactive: you don't wait to be told what needs doing
Is organised: you can manage multiple actions, stakeholders and deadlines at once
Takes ownership: you see things through rather than passing them on
Has confidence: you're comfortable communicating with suppliers and internal stakeholders
Has outstanding attention to detail: you understand the importance of accurate records, compliance and process
Previous Purchasing / Procurement experience is essential, with experience in areas such as supplier onboarding, RFx administration, contract administration or PO follow-up highly desirable.
If you're the kind of person who likes a busy to-do list, knows how to chase without being chased, and gets genuine satisfaction from closing down actions and keeping procurement activity moving, we'd love to hear from you.
Hybrid working with a minimum of 2 days per week on site.
