• Optimize Supply Chain Operations: Forecast and manage the supply of goods, pre-provision services on the NM portal, and guarantee data integrity for all installation services, ensuring overall project efficiency and quality outcomes.

Key Responsibilities

• Supplier Relationship Management: Establish and nurture trusted relationships with all suppliers, ensuring alignment with project requirements and effective management and escalation of issues when needed.
• Procurement Operations: Lead the procurement of services and goods by managing purchase orders, scheduling deliveries, coordinating shipments, and processing invoicing for clients.
• Warranty & Change Management: Oversee the warranty process and coordinate with suppliers for future enhancements, changes, and issue resolution.
• Regulatory & Quality Assurance: Implement and monitor flow down requirements, ensuring compliance with health & safety, GDPR, ISO 27001 standards, and onboarding procedures.
• Supply Forecasting & Data Management: Accurately forecast supply needs, manage the NM portal for pre-provisioning services, and maintain high data quality for installation-related processes.

What We’re Looking For

• Stakeholder & Account Management Expertise: Proven ability to manage strong relationships with internal teams, suppliers, and clients, ensuring transparent and effective communication.
• Procurement & Supply Chain Savvy: Demonstrated experience and/or knowledge of procurement processes and supply chain management that contributes to quality delivery and operational excellence.
• Attention to Detail & Quality Delivery: A meticulous approach to work with a commitment to delivering superior quality and holding suppliers to high standards.
• Proactive & Independent Problem Solver: A self-starter who takes initiative, resolves issues promptly, and ensures that all actions are completed effectively.
