About the role

Procurement is accountable for establishing and nurturing value-focused
relationships with third parties. The Procurement Manager - Site (SPM)
partners with the local Site team to drive and support across all the
dimensions of Procurement delivery. At a strategic level, the SPM leads the
alignment with the Site Leadership Team; ensures the Site business needs and
priorities are well understood and supported from Global Category Procurement
teams and contributes, directly or indirectly, to the strategic management of
key suppliers. From a more tactical perspective, the SPM leads the operational
management of activities, implementation of sourcing strategies and other
global projects. They also ensure that the daily needs and transactional
activities are executed in accordance with GSK's policies and SOPs and that
the communication provided to the local Procurement team and the stakeholder
community is relevant and effective.
The SPM is a delivery-orientated value creating partner. Someone who is well
connected to the business and has the strong people relationships necessary to
make things happen to create value. It's someone that is so well connected
that they find things out, they get to know things from various sources and
then they put two and two together to make five. It's someone who can connect
the dots. Who can challenge collaboratively and lead others to deliver the
value. Someone others are drawn to because they know that that person will
help make them be successful. To drive needle-moving value creation the SPM
doesn't just need to be a great partner with each Category Procurement team
and each Supplier but also need to connect across Sites, particularly those in
the same value chain and geography, connect across Procurement, across the
Supply Chain and across the business.
