CORPORATE OFFICE

Viasat’s Corporate Office aims to leverage the groups scale to sustainably improve our operational efficiency. Global Procurement is key in achieving this aim.
After establishing a Global Procurement function some 5 years ago, Viasat is evolving the team’s role and focus to further develop our strategic procurement capabilities; identify and implement cost control opportunities across the business, maximise the potential for synergies via the Inmarsat/Viasat integration and use technologies to maximise the effectiveness of the team.
Procurement focuses on areas where the most value can be achieved by taking a balanced risk based approach to projects; implementing fit for purpose policies and processes and then managing suppliers and relationships to get the most out of them. Ultimately to be seen internally and externally as a team that adds value to all business units and not a team that just runs processes.
