Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation (YPO) – Head of Public Sector Customer Development

Salary: £72,790 plus £3,000 car allowance

Location: Wakefield / Hybrid Working

Contract: Full-time / Permanent

Employer: Yorkshire Purchasing Organisation (YPO)

Welcome, and thank you for your interest in learning more about YPO and this very exciting role.

As YPO marks its 50th anniversary this year, we’re not just celebrating our past; we’re gearing up for a future filled with possibilities. And that’s where you come in!

YPO has been a cornerstone of excellence for half a century, and this momentous occasion is the perfect time to join our thriving community. I am looking for an exceptional leader who has a strong background in public sector procurement and has the ability to inspire others at the same time as working strategically with leaders across YPO and partner organisations ensuring we maximise the many opportunities to develop and grow our business whilst delivering an outstanding service.

We are looking forward to recruiting to the new role of Head of Public Sector Customer Development who will not only build value adding commercial procurement services but also lead on the engagement with our public sector customers. This is an excellent opportunity to shape the way this service looks. We seek an innovative leader with a deep understanding of the public sector market and procurement regulations, as well as experience in customer relationship and account management.

As an integrated member of the Senior Leadership Team, you will lead the future Procurement Customer relationship strategy bringing commercial growth and profitability whilst building strategic relationships with customers to develop growth opportunities. As well as leading customer engagement, the role will also be ultimately responsible for the development of two new YPO services; Consultancy Services and Training Academy.

Join us as a trusted advisor at Board level, ensuring not just confident procurement solutions but also adding that strategic flair to our approach. This role isn't just about advancing YPO; it's about propelling your own career to new heights. Whilst publicly owned we operate commercially, needing to be agile and fast paced enough to compete fully in a competitive market.  Our size means that we are large enough to offer exposure to complex procurement challenges and our unique operating model ensures that we are not tied up by bureaucracy and red tape.

Behind every successful leader is a diligent team, and you'll be welcomed by a friendly and hardworking group dedicated to managing our resources and finances effectively.

If you are interested in joining our team and are inspired to help lead the next phase of our journey, we look forward to your application.

Company

Better value, delivered.

YPO supplies products and services to a wide range of customers including schools, local authorities, charities, emergency services, public sector and other businesses such as nurseries and care homes.

We're 100% publicly owned, by 13 local authorities, which means the profits we make are returned to our public sector customers, delivering even better value for money.

We have a large choice available from leading UK suppliers, so we can provide you with everything you could possibly need to successfully run your organisation.

Our range includes around 30,000 products and 100 frameworks; so whether it’s pens and paper, computers, furniture, or even things like electricity, food and insurance, we can help you get the best deals around.

As we can combine your demands with our other customers, we can negotiate a better deal for you than if you tried on your own. All of this means that you receive the best possible range and prices without ever having to compromise on service or quality.
