Sitting at the intersection of Program Management and Value Leadership, you'll be responsible for driving global initiatives that deliver tangible business value, accelerate savings delivery, and embed world-class ways of working across the Procurement function.

The Opportunity:

This newly created role is a unique blend of Global PMO Leadership and Procurement Transformation.

You'll be at the heart of the transformation influencing senior stakeholders globally, managing strategic projects that enhance efficiency and sustainability, and ensuring that global initiatives land effectively in regional markets.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the Global Procurement PMO, ensuring consistent governance, performance tracking, and executive reporting.
• Drive the Global Productivity Agenda, partnering with category teams and consultancies to deliver incremental value and achieve the desired savings target.
• Oversee Phase 2 of the Spend Tracking Tool, ensuring effective implementation and adoption globally.
• Champion change management, building alignment and engagement across regional Procurement teams.
• Identify and deliver value creation opportunities, expanding productivity beyond cost savings to sustainability initiatives.
• Provide executive-level insight, tracking KPIs and progress for the CPO, CFO, and Procurement Leadership.

What You’ll Bring

• Proven experience in global program or transformation leadership, ideally within Procurement, Supply Chain, or Commercial Excellence.
• Strong project management capability with the ability to deliver complex initiatives at pace.
• Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills in a global matrix environment.
• Strong analytical and financial acumen, with a track record of tracking and reporting value delivery.
• Experience managing change across global regions and bringing people on the journey.
• Prior exposure to Procurement productivity or transformation programs highly desirable.
