If you offer considerable procurement and contract/supplier management experience, this is an exciting opportunity to play a key role shaping an expansive and challenging programme of commercial transformation at the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA).

Part of a small but busy commercial team, delivering procurement and contract management functions across the CMA, your responsibilities will include the placement and management of contracts across a variety of spend categories, such as People Services, Technology, Corporate, Buildings and Market Research. This will involve the development of sourcing and procurement strategies in line with Government Commercial Function professional standards and the management of key suppliers.

You will ensure supplier performance and that contracts deliver value for money as well as be responsible for the management and pricing of contract changes and variations. You will also manage disputes with suppliers and provide expert commercial advice to staff at all levels on all aspects of commercial business.

For this role, you will need to be professionally qualified (MCIPS – Membership of the Chartered Institute of Purchasing and Supply) or have a suitable equivalent qualification. Knowledge and experience of commercial contracting is essential, as is experience of delivering commercial strategies that meet business needs, evidence value for money and mitigate operational risk. Experience of successfully delivering transformation in a commercial environment is equally important. 

If you are excited about the opportunity to shape commercial business at the CMA and deliver marketplace insight and expertise, we would be delighted to hear from you.

In return the CMA is a hugely diverse, rewarding and stimulating place to work – an opportunity to work for the public good and to stretch and develop yourself in doing so. We offer generous benefits, including an excellent pension scheme, at least 25 days leave (increasing to 30 over five years), and generous maternity/paternity leave provision. You can also take advantage of interest-free season ticket loans, a cycle to work scheme, our employee assistance programme and favourable consideration of flexible working.
