• Work closely with the Group Commercial Contracts Managers to negotiate robust contracts that meet our minimum requirements and ensuring initiative-taking management of all contract renewals.
• Work closely with the Group Supply Chain Assurance Manager to mitigate risk through effective supply chain due diligence, risk management, and responsible sourcing practices.
