• Actively participate in benchmarking exercises, gathering and analysing market data to inform sourcing decisions and support category strategy.

• Support contract negotiation processes, attending supplier discussions and collaborating with Legal and other functions to ensure commercial and compliance requirements are met.
• Coordinate supplier presentations and scorecards, helping to prepare evaluation materials.
• Collaborate with cross‑functional stakeholders including Legal, Finance, and business partners to support integrated sourcing outcomes and aligned decision‑making.
• Contribute to AI and digital tool adoption within the sourcing function, exploring how tools such as GenAI and Procure@BMS can streamline procurement workflows and improve team efficiency.
