  • Contribute to bid analysis and evaluation, helping the team assess supplier proposals and prepare clear, structured summaries and recommendations
  • Support contract negotiation processes, attending supplier discussions and collaborating with Legal and other functions to ensure commercial and compliance requirements are met
  • Coordinate supplier presentations and scorecards, helping to prepare evaluation materials
  • Collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders including Legal, Finance, and business partners to support integrated sourcing outcomes and aligned decision-making
  • Contribute to AI and digital tool adoption within the sourcing function, exploring how tools such as GenAI and Procure@BMS can streamline procurement workflows and improve team efficiency
  • Identify and document process improvement opportunities, contributing fresh perspectives to help the team evolve its ways of working
