Job description

At Future we are challenging our core supplier base to optimise cost without compromising on quality. This role will play a key part in categorising spend and executing cost-reduction initiatives through supplier consolidation and RFP support.

What you'll be doing

Reporting to the Head of Commercial Analysis, this role plays a vital part in identifying efficiency opportunities across the group's contractual base. This project aims to optimise spend through detailed review and application of successfully established procurement processes.

Being able to manage large volumes of data from multiple sources and use that information to provide clear recommendations is a key part of the role, as is the ability to maintain a strong focus on the financial impact of consolidation and negotiation.

• Spend Analysis & Data Visualisation Categorise all non-major business spend across departments to identify patterns and opportunities
• Contract Management & Tracking Build and populate a centralised Supplier Contract Database, capturing end dates, notice periods, and auto-renewal clauses.
• Supplier Rationalisation Identify duplicate suppliers and develop a plan to consolidate volume with fewer, high-quality partners.
• Sourcing & RFP Support Support the Request for Proposal (RFP) process for mid-tier categories and commercial negotiations.

Experience that will put you ahead of the curve

• Highly proficient data skills
• Strong soft skills to challenge internal stakeholders
• Procurement Literacy and experience with reviewing contracts
• Self starter who can deliver results in weeks, not months, which is critical for this fixed-term contract.
• Attention to detail: building trackers and managing contract data to a high level of accuracy

This is a Hybrid role from our Bath Office, working three days from the office, two from home.
