THE ROLE:
Now is the time to consider a career in procurement
Procurement represents a fantastic choice for individuals looking for a varied role with great career prospects.
Procurement is one of the few sectors where new employees are given the opportunity to prove their worth and take charge of their own projects, from start to finish. The current economic climate has seen an increasing number of organisations turn to their procurement teams to deliver growth and generate income.
Procurement also offers a great deal of variety in terms of daily tasks and the range of stakeholders you work with. This makes it an appealing career choice for anyone looking for new challenges and continuous development.
The people who prosper in procurement generally have strong interpersonal and analytical skills and can communicate their ideas through a wide range of formats to a variety of stakeholders.
