Responsibilities

PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES

We are seeking a dynamic Business Engagement Lead (BEL) to join our Global Procurement Organization (GPO) team. The BEL plays a critical role in driving efficiency and effectiveness within GPO by leading cross-category operational, tactical, and strategic initiatives. Acting as the key intermediary between category teams and the GPO Technology, Supplier Management & Governance (TSG) team, the BEL ensures seamless collaboration, proactive process improvement, and operational excellence.
Reporting directly to the Head of General Procurement, this role contributes to the ongoing development of best practices. The ideal candidate will have a passion for operational excellence and organizational change, helping the procurement team enhance expertise in process improvement and procurement systems/tools. Additionally, the role requires acting as an advisor between the category team and TSG, working cross-teams to seek and implement solutions. You will ensure collaboration, balance differing interests to develop effective solutions, and bring expertise in procurement processes, policies, and ways of working.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

  • Serve as the bridge between category teams and the GPO TSG team, facilitating collaboration to improve daily procurement operations.
  • Drive the initiation and prioritization of key business topics that benefit GPO, its internal customers, and external partners.
  • Collaborate with teams, including Supplier Management & Governance, Sourcing Excellence Champions Team, and Partnering & Communications, to identify synergies and continuously improve procurement processes, procedures, systems, and tools across GPO.
  • Act as a subject matter expert to ensure the accuracy, quality, and professionalism of all deliverables.
  • Represent category interests in GPO initiatives while working in close alignment with broader strategic goals.
  • Drive global procurement efficiency initiatives in cross-functional teams with a focus on General Procurement.
  • Drive innovation, transformation, and improvements in procurement initiatives, embedding new processes, digitalization, and forward-thinking approaches within General Procurement.
  • Seek continuous improvement of procurement performance through transformation efforts that focus on modernizing the procurement function and creating greater agility.
