Contract Lifecycle Management: Own the full lifecycle of contracts &mdash; drafting, negotiation, execution, and renewal &mdash; ensuring compliance, risk mitigation, and commercial advantage.</li><li>
RFP Leadership: Lead end-to-end RFP processes, from documentation design and tender management through to evaluation and negotiation.</li><li>
Stakeholder Management: Build strong, trust-based relationships with senior stakeholders in Marketing, Procurement, and Finance, ensuring alignment on budgets, supplier strategy, and commercial outcomes.</li><li>
Systems &amp; Governance: Ensure robust use of SAP and procurement processes, partnering with Legal, Compliance, and Data Protection to safeguard Tahaluf&rsquo;s interests.</li><li>
Global Leverage: Align with the Group Marketing Procurement Director (UK) to maximise the benefits of Informa&rsquo;s global MSAs and consolidated spend.</li><li>
Performance Reporting: Deliver regular reports on savings, supplier performance, and adoption of global MSAs.</li><li>
KPIs / Accountability: The primary KPI is to realise significant cost savings across Tahaluf&rsquo;s marketing procurement categories. Secondary measures include supplier performance and stakeholder satisfaction.</li><li>
