The Senior Manager LOC Procurement is an entrepreneurial, delivery-orientated business partner. They are someone who is well connected within the business and who has the strong people relationships necessary to make things happen to create value. It’s someone that is so well connected that they find things out, they get to know things from various sources and then they put two and two together to create important new business opportunities. They really know the company financials and the business levers to optimise value. It’s someone who can connect the dots, someone who can challenge collaboratively and lead others to deliver the value. It’s someone others are drawn to because they know that that person will help to make them be successful. To drive needle-moving value creation, the Senior Manager LOC Procurement doesn’t just need to be a great partner to the GMs and local Leadership Team, they also need to connect brilliantly across to the Category Procurement teams and to Suppliers and across LOCs.

The Senior Manager LOC Procurement is also excellent at driving execution, is action-orientated and focused on delivery. They are sharp. Fast. Creative. They bring people together to make things happen with traction. They are ‘can do’. They get things done. Quickly and with quality. The Senior Manager LOC Procurement is a clinical problem solver - what’s the challenge statement?, what are the options?, what is the value analysis?; they facilitate the decision, then follow-through to execution and delivery. The Senior Manager LOC Procurement needs to influence others to deliver and have the super-powers to unlock and unleash potential and address any challenges that arise to be able to deliver the value collaboratively.

Our UK Pharma Head of Procurement recently said ‘One of the highlights of my HOP role for me has been being able to connect my day-to-day role to GSK’s patients…’ and ‘Being a good business partner is fundamental to the success of a Head of Procurement. What’s pleasantly surprised me is my involvement in Commercial meetings not just looking at how our activity can drive savings, but also increase sales and market share… From helping identify and implement innovative supplier solutions which help drive growth, I feel perceptions of Procurement have shifted from being more of a cost saving support function to more of a frontline commercial partner.’
