As you drive this high-profile transformational agenda and radical procurement programme, you'll enjoy the autonomy to decide exactly how you'll bring it to life. And, as you use your strong commercial acumen to make our budget go further, you'll see how far this professional challenge could take you. See the full scope of the role at this link.
