Rolls Royce offers more than just a job; you'll be part of an inclusive culture that champions continuous learning and development, providing you with a wealth of experience and growth opportunities.

What we offer:
We offer excellent development, a competitive salary, and exceptional benefits. These include bonus, employee support assistance, and employee discounts.

Be responsible for the quality and delivery performance of these supply chains and the resolution of any performance-related issues. Be responsible for the definition, agreement, and execution of improvement plans as required. Be responsible for cost performance relative to business and customer requirements. Deliver long-term cost improvement in all relevant activities in line with business plans, including leveraging cost reductions across commodity/category scope. Develop, deploy, and communicate relevant commodity/category/supplier strategies, providing a clear vision and strategic framework for the pillar. Work collaboratively, as part of cross-functional teams, to ensure that strategies meet current and future business/customer needs. Be responsible for the effective planning and execution of sourcing and commercial activities to maximize the value proposition across the pillar. Lead the team's compliance with company policies, processes, and procedures, ensuring all purchasing records and documentation are correct and maintained in line with regulatory requirements. Nurture effective relationships with multiple stakeholders, both internal and external to the function in order to integrate functional priorities.
Who we're looking for:
At Rolls-Royce, we embrace agility, are bold, pursue collaboration, and seek simplicity in everything we do. These principles form our values and behaviors and are an essential component of our assessment process and are fundamental qualities that we seek for all roles.
To be successful in this role you will need to meet the following criteria: Proven track record in relevant roles and in team leadership. Experience of working in complex organizations and in large, regulated manufacturing environments. High level of procurement and commercial acumen, backed up by relevant professional qualifications and/or accreditations. Delivery and stakeholder/customer focus. Being a role model for positive and engaging leadership.
We are an equal opportunities employer. We're committed to developing a diverse workforce and an inclusive working environment. We believe that people from different backgrounds and cultures give us different perspectives. And the more perspectives we have, the more successful we'll be. By building a culture of respect and appreciation, we give everyone who works here the opportunity to realize their full potential.
To work for Rolls-Royce Submarines, you need to hold a Security Check (SC) clearance without any caveats to that clearance. Rolls-Royce will support the application for Security Clearance if you don't currently already have this in place. Due to the nature of work the business conducts and the protection of certain assets, you must hold UK nationality. Any dual nationals will require additional scrutiny and background checks prior to commencing work with RRSL.
