This is an exciting opportunity to join the procurement and supply chain management team working in the private commercial sector delivering projects for our global corporate real estate clients. The role involves advising clients across the full range of procurement and supply chain services.

You will be responsible for building trusted relationships, both face to face and remotely, across internal and external stakeholders at all levels and across various countries and markets.

Ensuring that all procurement and supply chain activities follow processes and procedures set out by Mace, the client, and relevant regulations is critical. You will deliver the strategy and plans for your area/unit, providing innovative solutions to support the end-to-end process. Managing and providing leadership to a team of managers and professionals, ensuring the principles, structures, tools, capabilities, and responsibilities are in place to deliver area plans and excellence is a core part of the role.
