An opportunity has arisen for an Implementation & Adoption Manager for the Southeast of England to join a nationally renowned organisation providing procurement services to the NHS. As a member of the Implementation & Adoption Team, you will be working within the Facilities and Office Solutions Category Service Provider function of the NHS Supply Chain Operating Model, supporting customers to make the best use of the services that NHS Supply Chain can offer across the Facilities and Office Solutions category.

The role involves the promotion and development of the national programmes at NHS Trust level, engaging with stakeholders to implement and maintain the development of service delivery to their trusts. Key Accountabilities include delivery of a national savings programme, management of the stakeholder accounts, compliance with the National Target Operating Model, understanding buying patterns within end user groups and working with category specialists within our organisation to develop future service options ensuring product being proposed meet with customer requirements and feeding back insights to the customer team.

Main duties of the job

You will work closely with our Data Analysts and Procurement Specialists to utilise the opportunities for innovation they identify and to deliver cost reduction initiatives to customers to improve the value delivered from the services provided to the NHS on a national basis.

You will be responsible for managing the relationship between Facilities & Office Solutions and the NHS organisations within a defined geographical area centred on the Southeast of England and London.

You will be a highly motivated and enthusiastic individual, with a passion to make a positive difference within our NHS. You will function as part of a wider team but will be comfortable working alone without direct supervision.

You should be able to demonstrate strong personal skills, a sound understanding of public procurement, together with both experience and enthusiasm for developing functioning relationships across a wide customer base. Whilst being a good communicator, you will have a strong customer focused ethos and broad commercial acumen.
