Summary
Are you passionate about turning data into meaningful insights that drive smart decision-making? We’re looking for a detail-driven and innovative Data Analyst to join our dynamic Procurement and Contracting team. In this pivotal role, you’ll harness the power of data to support strategic sourcing, supplier performance, contract compliance, and cost-saving initiatives across the organisation.
As a key part of the team, you’ll dive deep into procurement data, identify trends, and provide actionable intelligence that shapes procurement strategies and strengthens our supplier partnerships. You’ll work closely with contract managers, category leads, and finance teams to ensure we’re achieving value for money and maintaining strong commercial governance.
If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, love solving problems through data, and want to play a vital role in transforming procurement processes, we’d love to hear from you.
Responsible for capturing data, developing models (e.g. spend cubes, waterfall reports, etc.) and presenting spend data to allow the Category Management team to develop category strategies. This will include the pictorial representation of data to allow Category Managers and senior management to present to key stakeholders in a way that is meaningful.
Responsible for working with the procurement team to ensure that all analysis can allow informed decision-making on sourcing and procurement activities and in identifying and quantifying savings opportunities.
Establish strong working links with key stakeholders, both within the Procurement team and particularly with Finance, Care Group Leads and Corporate areas such as Facilities and Estates, IT etc. to capture spend data, and to profile the future requirements of these teams e.g. Project future requirements based on previous expenditure, modelling of trends, peaks, seasonality etc.
We work together, and in conjunction with MSE Health and Care Partnership, to deliver excellent local and specialist services, to improve the health and wellbeing of our patients in a compassionate way, and provide a respectful, but vibrant place for staff to develop, innovate and build careers.
From facilities through to consultant specialists we want to be the best, to achieve this we need to recruit not just those who are the finest in their field but also those who have the potential to be. Yes, experience is important but so is outlook – if you are dynamic, forward-thinking and enthusiastic we want you to join us.
We not only offer you a good working environment with flexible working opportunities, but also the opportunity to develop your career with access to appropriate training for your job and the support to succeed and progress.
