About the Role
Behind every well-run procurement is someone who keeps the information accurate, the process smooth and the colleagues informed. That's this role. As our Procurement Operational Support Co-ordinator, you'll keep our procurement operations running well, so the whole team and the business can deliver with confidence. You'll look after the data, systems and documentation that make procurement work, and be a friendly, knowledgeable first point of contact for colleagues across The Crown Estate. If you enjoy accuracy, like improving how things work and want to build a career in public sector procurement, this is a great place to start.

What you'll be doing:
- Helping colleagues follow our procurement policies and guidance, and carrying out compliance checks across purchasing
- Setting up new suppliers and keeping supplier records accurate, including insurances, accreditations and payment details
- Maintaining the supplier database, contract register and other team data sources
- Preparing and publishing Procurement Act 2023 transparency notices accurately and on time
- Managing the procurement documentation approval process
- Answering routine queries from stakeholders and keeping our Procurement Hub SharePoint pages up to date
- Supporting market research and using data to spot ways to improve processes, reduce cost and add value

Experience
Experience in an administrative, analytical or support role, ideally in a commercial procurement setting. Experience with ERP systems, and e-procurement/e-sourcing or contract management platforms is highly desirable.

About you
Strong organisation skills with a keen eye for detail and accuracy. Ability to juggle priorities and meet deadlines. Confidence in Microsoft Office and enthusiasm for new ways of working, including emerging technology such as AI. Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the confidence to share outcomes that may not be welcome. An understanding of public sector procurement and a desire to develop professionally.

Qualifications
