This role will play a key part in shaping how subcontractors and suppliers are selected, managed, and developed across the business.

• Allocate suppliers and subcontractors strategically across key projects
• Monitor supplier performance, setting clear expectations and measurable KPIs
• Use data and performance insights to drive continuous improvement initiatives
• Lead commercial discussions and negotiations to achieve optimal outcomes without compromising quality or programme

• Proactive and self‑driven, with the confidence to challenge and improve existing ways of working
• Strong communicator who can build credibility with both internal teams and external partners
• Commercially astute, numerate, and comfortable working with data and performance metrics
• Experienced within construction, fit‑out, or a related supply chain environment
• Relationship‑focused, with the ability to foster trust and long‑term partnerships
• Resilient and comfortable working in a fast‑paced, delivery‑focused environment
• Highly organised, with excellent attention to detail
