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.

You'll provide hands-on support across a range of tactical procurement activities, including:
n

- Fx administration: preparing documentation, coordinating supplier responses and keeping timelines on track
n
- Contract administration: maintaining accurate records and supporting contract extensions and related activities
n
- PO compliance: reviewing reports, following up with business partners and helping identify and resolve issues
n
- Procurement coordination: managing multiple activities, tracking owners and deadlines,
and escalating blockers when required
n
n
What are we looking for?
n
Quite simply, someone who gets things done.
n
You'll be someone who:
n
n
- Is tenacious: if you don't get a response, you chase it
n
- Is proactive: you don't wait to be told what needs doing
n
- Is organised: you can manage multiple actions, stakeholders and deadlines at once
n
- Takes ownership: you see things through rather than passing them on
