Head of Procurement

Freedom to take procurement to new heights.

Imagine seeing your biggest ideas take shape. With influence over a £303million budget, you'll lead the Council towards a new category management model. Ensuring greater connectivity and improved use of systems and data, you'll create change that will directly benefit the Council and the people of Doncaster. As you drive this high-profile transformational agenda and radical procurement programme, you'll enjoy the autonomy to decide exactly how you'll bring it to life. And, as you use your strong commercial acumen to make our budget go further, you'll see how far this professional challenge could take you. See the full scope of the role at this link.

Closing date: 12 January 2012.
