• Embedding social value and sustainability throughout the procurement lifecycle, including framework design, delivery and contract management.
• Developing and delivering a clear social value and impact strategy aligned to organisational priorities.
• Defining metrics and methodologies to measure, track and report social value and impact outcomes.
• Leading social value innovation, including systems, tools and approaches that enhance framework attractiveness and uptake.
• Building capability across Procurement Solutions by leading training, development and engagement on social value.
What you'll bring:

• Experience working within a procurement and/or commercial environment, with a strong understanding of procurement processes and frameworks.
• Proven experience embedding social value into contracts and contract management arrangements.
• Strong stakeholder management experience, including influencing senior stakeholders.
• A track record of delivering end-to-end initiatives with clear impact measurement and reporting.
