This role is support focused and sits below the IT Category Lead level. It will suit someone with experience supporting procurements, managing procurement processes, and assisting with reporting, compliance and stakeholder engagement.

- Act as a first point of contact for routine procurement queries from internal stakeholders.
- Support compliance with procurement policies and public procurement regulations
- Assist with maintaining contract registers, renewal schedules and reporting
- Contribute to continuous improvement of procurement processes and guidance
- Support embedding sustainability, equality and good governance considerations into procurement activity
What you'll need to succeed
Essential:
- Experience in a procurement support, procurement officer or coordinator role
- Experience supporting or running procurements, particularly lower value exercises
- Some understanding or exposure to public sector / public procurement environments
- Working knowledge of Microsoft Excel and reporting
- Ability to manage multiple tasks and work to deadlines
- Confident communicator, comfortable dealing with internal stakeholders
Desirable:
- Experience within Higher Education or wider public sector
- Awareness of public procurement regulations (e.g. PCR / Procurement Act 2023)
- CIPS qualification or willingness to study towards
- Experience supporting contract management or procurement pipelines
What you'll get in return
