We're offering an exciting opportunity with a competitive salary of up to £52,369, plus a bonus and a generous £1,800 car allowance.

If you're passionate about making a meaningful impact, we want to hear from you
The South East Consortium (SEC) is a not for profit organisation representing social housing providers in London and the South East. We exist to support the sector with procurement and sharing insight. SEC are providing customers with a growing range of services, networking and training.
Your role will mean you are responsible for the planning, procurement, coordination and resourcing of our frameworks and dynamic models. The role also includes ongoing management of our products and working with our internal teams to help market the products and train our members so that we maximise their use and knowledge.
You'll have knowledge and experience in public procurement - particularly with procuring frameworks and dynamic purchasing systems. You'll also understand the changes in legislation with the Procurement Act 2023 and be able to procure products under the new regime.
You'll be working with customers and internal teams to implement framework/product management and reporting processes to understand the effectiveness of framework products, including their usage. You'll also work with our systems and e-portals to manage data to help SEC make informed decisions with our products.
You'll be responsible for managing a small SEC Product Procurement Team to deliver frameworks and dynamic models and provide guidance and expertise to customers. You'll help develop, motivate and create a learning environment to support the team to meet their development objectives.
The workload will be diverse so you'll need to be able to work on your own initiative and be truly committed to any challenge that comes your way. You'll have the ability to put the customer first - every time.
Previous public procurement experience is essential, as well as either being a professional member of CIPS to at least level 4, or willing to sign up to a commitment to achieve level 4 within 12 months of starting employment at SEC. Knowledge of leaseholder consultation process and the housing sector is desirable for this role.
This role will mainly be based in our office in Sittingbourne in Kent, and we offer a hybrid working arrangement - we'll ask, as a minimum, that you spend two working days per week in the office.
