As a Manager, you will lead high-impact procurement excellence workstreams as an integrated part of Procurement Transformations, leveraging your expertise to deliver transformation initiatives and provide strategic advisory. Your transversal role will allow you to work across multiple industries, providing end-to-end solutions in procurement optimization, digital transformation, and operational excellence. You will collaborate with senior stakeholders to design and implement procurement strategies that align with clients' business goals, while also building internal capabilities and leading a team of consultants.
- Lead procurement transformation projects, including Target Operating Model (TOM) design, procurement capability assessments, and strategic roadmap development.
- Collaborate with C-suite executives to identify procurement gaps, design solutions, and oversee the implementation of organizational change.
- Provide data-driven insights and lead initiatives to optimize procurement processes using digital tools and analytics.
- Act as a thought leader within the organization, sharing best practices, mentoring junior team members, and contributing to the development of procurement intellectual capital.

Our collaborative and inclusive culture is what makes us stand out. At Efficio, colleagues with diverse backgrounds, ideas, and viewpoints come together to identify innovative solutions for our clients - and so we're looking for our new team members to bring strong communication, empathy, and relationship-building skills to maintain this culture as we grow.
We encourage our teams to proactively innovate and challenge the status-quo, backed by strong analytical thinking and creative problem-solving abilities alongside comfortable proficiency in Excel and PowerPoint. We're looking for team members who enjoy and have experience of digging into complex challenges at a leading management consultancy or in a relevant industry position.
Strong opportunities for career growth are an important part of our offering; as such, we love seeing ambition and a proactive approach to shaping your career to your goals and interests.
To meet client needs, we look for flexibility to travel; you can give us a heads-up on your preferences when applying.
