To succeed in this role, you'll bring a blend of project management expertise, commercial acumen, and facilities knowledge, alongside the ability to build strong relationships across a diverse stakeholder group.

You'll have:

  • A strong understanding of building systems and maintenance activities
  • Proven experience within procurement or supply chain, ideally focused on facilities management services
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to partner effectively with Facilities, Finance, and Legal teams
  • Demonstrated expertise in supplier negotiations, contract management, and vendor performance management, ensuring agreements deliver both value and service excellence
