The opportunity:

Are you passionate about managing critical supplier subcontracts? Do you have experience of providing commercial guidance and would love the opportunity to work collaboratively with suppliers?

As a Procurement Subcontract Specialist for Major Equipment Procurement (MEP), you will partner our suppliers and enable MBDA to provide world-leading defence capabilities for our Home Nations and their Allies.

You will lead subcontracts and obligations across the entire life cycle of missiles and missile systems, project manage the on-time, on-cost, on-quality delivery of high value and sophisticated sub-systems, provide commercial guidance to internal customers and manage risk and opportunity to safeguard the interests of MBDA.

What we're looking for from you:

MEP provides a collaborative, team-focused environment where multitasking is a key skill. This is a really key role, and we need people who can help us be successful by taking requirements and problem solving with tangible solutions. There will be ample opportunities for you to develop within the MEP team and across the wider procurement business. You will be required to travel to our suppliers in the UK, Europe and potentially internationally.
  • You'll bring experience in procurement subcontract management, e.g. negotiation, contract and terms and conditions
  • Be able to problem solve daily and skilled at finding a resolution
  • Keen to provide continuous support and co-operation to senior internal and external customers
  • Continually improve opportunities, analyse situations and present possibilities, whilst balancing risk
