Global Procurement, Business Process Owner, Supplier Management

At AstraZeneca we’re dedicated to being a Great Place to Work. Where you are empowered to push the boundaries of science and unleash your entrepreneurial spirit. There’s no better place to make a difference to medicine, patients, and society. An expansive culture that champions diversity and collaboration. Always committed to lifelong learning, growth and development.

AstraZeneca’s Global Procurement Function has a bold ambition to be the leading biopharmaceutical Global Procurement organization, delivering innovative and cost-effective solutions to our internal business partners, by acting as trusted advisers, using best in class market intelligence for valuable insights, strong supplier partnerships and effective digital tools enabling smooth and efficient processes for our organization and end users.

The role:

The Strategy & Operational Excellence (S&OE) team are the backbone of Global Procurement, supporting the delivery of our vision and strategic plan to become a best-in-class function as we embark on the exciting journey towards our corporate 2030 Bold Ambition.

As a Business Process Owner within S&OE, you will own and lead the definition, design, deployment and ongoing improvement of the Supplier Management process to ensure efficient, effective and transparent ways of working. You will use your expertise to drive standardisation across Global Procurement and ensure that we strike the right balance between risk mitigation, simplification, and innovation.

Supplier Management is an integral part of how Global Procurement delivers value to the business through the development of mutually beneficial relationships with our suppliers. You will set the strategic direction for the process, working with the Executive Process Owner (EPO), and drive the process to that end goal, ultimately enabling the delivery of our functional vision and strategic plan.

Lean and Digital are critical aspects to us becoming more agile and efficient as a function and therefore play a key role in the strategic direction of our processes. You will need to understand our Lean Strategy and Digital Strategy and partner closely with these SMEs to ensure alignment and collaborate in defining the future direction of these strategies to meet business process needs. You will establish and lead a process network to drive process maturity and continuous improvement. You will work to identify and act upon technological enhancements to drive efficiency.

What you’ll do:

Design and own the process including standards and procedures

Engage and lead a process network

Provide training materials, expert advice and coaching

Drive adherence to the process

Drive standardisation and simplification, applying Lean Principles where appropriate

Define KPIs; manage continuous improvement and change

Manage links with related processes / BPOs

Manage any supporting systems (with System Owner) and define technology improvements.

Own the business continuity plan for the process if required

Essential skills & experience:

Significant experience in Supplier Management either as a process owner or from direct management of strategic supplier relationships.

Good understanding of Business Process Management (BPM) frameworks with operational experience from working in a cross-functional process network or as a process user in a global process

Good understanding of Lean Principles

Significant Procurement and/or Supply Chain experience

Experience in change management and people management skills

Excellent communication skills and ability to influence others

Strong business acumen and ability to think strategically

Proven track record of delivering projects in a global environment

Ability to challenge the ‘status quo’ and embedded ways of working to drive positive and sustainable change

When we put unexpected teams in the same room, we unleash bold thinking with the power to inspire life-changing medicines. In-person working gives us the platform we need to connect, work at pace and challenge perceptions. That’s why we work, on average, a minimum of three days per week from the office. But that doesn't mean we’re not flexible. We balance the expectation of being in the office while respecting individual flexibility. Join us in our unique and ambitious world.

Are you ready to embrace change to deliver greater value? The speed of change in our industry, especially with the acceleration in digital transformation, commands a shift in perspective that looks beyond managing spend. Procurement is becoming an even more strategic and value-adding function at AstraZeneca. We play to win here. Use your business acumen, entrepreneurial spirit and determination to reinvent the way we make commercial decisions. Apply now
