Description

The Procurement Operations & Delivery Executive role offers an excellent opportunity to play a key part in delivering effective, transparent and value-driven procurement across the London Legacy Development Corporation (LLDC). Working within the Procurement team, you will help ensure that procurement and contract management activities support the organisation's strategic objectives while meeting the highest standards of governance, compliance and public accountability.

This is a varied and hands-on role that combines governance, business intelligence, procurement delivery and continuous improvement. You will lead the development and maintenance of procurement reporting, contracts and pipeline management information, providing valuable insight that supports decision-making across the organisation. You will take ownership of Responsible Procurement (RP) reporting, be a champion for RP within the organisation and work with the LLDC Procurement Business Partner within the RP GLA collaboration group. In addition, you will own assigned lower-value procurement projects, support more complex procurement activities and play a key role in helping colleagues navigate procurement processes with confidence.

As the team's operational expert for procurement systems, reporting and compliance, you will collaborate with stakeholders across LLDC, Finance, Legal and wider public sector partners to improve processes, embed best practice and help deliver value for money. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys combining analytical thinking, stakeholder engagement and practical procurement delivery while contributing to projects that support the continued success of the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.

Is it for you?

We're looking for a proactive and highly organised procurement professional who enjoys working in a dynamic environment where no two days are quite the same. You will be comfortable balancing data analysis, governance activities and procurement delivery, while building positive relationships with stakeholders at all levels.

You will bring:

• Experience of working within a procurement function, ideally in a public sector or other regulated environment, with a strong understanding of procurement governance and compliance requirements.
• Practical experience of delivering procurement activities, supporting sourcing exercises and managing procurement processes from initiation through to contract award.
• Strong analytical and reporting skills, with experience using data to provide insight, identify opportunities and support informed decision-making.
• Experience of developing, maintaining and improving management information, reporting tools, contracts registers or pipeline management processes.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to provide clear advice, guidance and training to colleagues at all levels.
• A collaborative and customer-focused approach, with the confidence to challenge constructively and promote compliant procurement practices.
• Strong organisational skills, attention to detail and the ability to manage competing priorities effectively.

You will be particularly well suited to this role if you enjoy improving processes, working with data, supporting colleagues and helping organisations achieve successful procurement outcomes in a compliant and efficient way. In return, you will have the opportunity to develop your procurement career in a high-profile public sector organisation, working on a diverse range of projects that make a tangible contribution to the future success of LLDC and the communities it serves.
