You’re a confident operator who thrives on pace, clarity and impact. You connect strategy to delivery, simplify complex problems, and build trusted relationships. You bring proven capability across Technology categories, strong commercial acumen, and the systems know-how to turn data into decisions.

• Experienced in Technology categories: services, cloud, hardware and communications
• Proven ability to negotiate complex contracts and manage regulatory risk
• Strong stakeholder influence, coordinating priorities and supplier review forums
• Ability to analyse data and create clear, actionable insights and reports
• Experienced in supplier governance, KPIs, scorecards and continuous improvement
