As an MCIPS, you are best placed to land your dream role with a leading employer, and here we look at why this puts you in pole position for some of the best procurement jobs.
1. Grab the attention of leading employers
MCIPS status offers you a vast array of opportunities with some of the leading employers in the profession.

2. Increase your earning potential
CIPS membership will not only fast-track your CV to the hiring manager’s attention, it will also bulk out your pay packet. The CIPS report found that CIPS graduates earned, on average, 48% more than those who have not achieved a qualification.
3. Become an essential part of your team
Your CIPS membership proves that you have the knowledge and skills to excel in a procurement career, which makes you very attractive to your team as well as the company. In the team, you can pass on your learning to your colleagues, furthering the whole team in the process.
4. Make all the hard work worth it
Most of all, now is a great time to look for your next role because it gives you the chance to immediately reap the benefits of your hard work. While some employers may be willing to consider a pay rise or additional benefits on completion of your qualification, the best place to find a better offer is by applying for a new role. Get that better job, higher salary and title that you deserve.
Therefore, as a CIPS member, you are in high demand with the potential to increase your salary whilst excelling in your supply chain management or procurement job.
