ABOUT THE ROLE

As Specialist of Fuel, Ops & Cargo SM&P you’ll: 

•    Understand and work in accordance with the category and departmental strategy. You will build subject matter knowledge within your primary area of responsibility, obtaining market intelligence and analyzing market developments such as new trends, supplier entry/exists, competitor information and risks. By monitoring and reporting on opportunities for savings as well as reviewing information on quality and performance of suppliers (based on quality reports, audits and business intelligence analysis reports), you will contribute to the implementation of the strategy. 
•    You will manage the procurement process for small to medium value/risk projects following the SM&P process and procedures manual, supporting other (procurement) projects as requested. You will lead the procurement process in co-operation with operational stakeholders, and work in close co-operation with other SM&P team members, as needed.

You will manage all activities involved in implementing commercial agreements including the issuance of commercial material to suppliers, as described in the SM&P process and procedures manual.  
•    You will manage small-to-medium value/risk contracts through their lifecycle from an administrative and commercial point of view, following the SM&P process and procedures manual. You will provide guidance to stakeholders on contractual matters and support ongoing supplier management of contracts and support operational departments in ongoing supplier management of contracts. 
•    You will manage escalated contractual claims and disputes (linked to the contracts/suppliers in your remit) between operational departments, support functions and suppliers and obtain compensation, if contractual terms and conditions are not fulfilled. Through the development and management of supplier, you will be able to develop and manage a long-term supplier relationship by reviewing supplier commercial and operational performance and by organizing regular service/performance review meetings with suppliers and business owners in function of the value of the contract. Through the analysis of operational risks for agreements based on market intelligence, business intelligence analysis reports and financial risk reports, you will report if risk level changes/increases and make recommendation for further actions.

•    You will be required to undertake business travel, both for internal purposes and for supplier visits/meetings. You will be able to work from home when not needed in the office or required to travel; the mantra is very much that work is something you do, not somewhere you go.
