PURPOSE OF THIS ROLE
Global Procurement delivers significant contribution towards Diageo business, productivity, and growth goals. The Digital & Technology category is seeking to deliver value creation to support operating margin improvement and competitive advantage through sourcing, negotiation, optimization, and supplier partnerships, using the sweet spot between efficiencies and effectiveness of our investment.
This category is complex, with varying collaborator needs, significant external spend and key relationships at an executive level.
The prime accountability for the role is to drive value through ensuring the commercial elements of spend in this category are implemented thoughtfully with our vendors.
This role will lead sourcing decisions with key collaborators and will support the maximization of value as well as return on investment, whilst minimizing risk from all external spend - assuring quality of delivery and performance.
The Digital & Technology category is additionally going through a period of transformation. Digital & Technology is growing in importance and becoming strategically more integrated in our planning and decision making.
This is the most complex of all procurement categories due to the complexity and risks associated with the products and services in D&T categories.
This role acts as the interface between business users and senior Collaborators and the Procurement community (accountable for the purchasing strategy) ensuring Diageo buys the right goods and services from the right supplier at the right price.
