Located at Brindley Place, this department is part of the Corporate Resources Directorate and is dedicated to supporting the organisation s mission of providing exceptional services to its customers. One of the key functions of the Digital Services Department is to collaborate with various stakeholders, including the Procurement Team and the Wider Leadership Team, to ensure transparency and efficiency in supplier management. The department aims to rigorously monitors supplier performance against key metrics, proactively identifies opportunities for continuous improvement, and ensures compliance with corporate contract management practices. About the role As the Contract & Supplier Manager (Digital Services), you will play a key role in overseeing the full lifecycle of our technology contracts. Using our modern Source-to-Pay (S2P) system, you ll manage everything from drafting and negotiation through to execution, renewal and termination, ensuring every contract aligns with our digital plan and organisational goals. You ll work closely with the Procurement and Finance teams - and stakeholders across IT and business leadership - to track supplier performance against agreed KPIs and SLAs, and to deliver continuous improvement. By leveraging S2P analytics and regular performance reports, you ll spot opportunities for cost savings and flag any compliance or risk issues early.

A collaborative mindset is key: you ll be confident engaging with stakeholders across procurement, finance and Digital Services, building strong relationships with suppliers and colleagues alike. We value people who are curious and ambitious (one of our core commitments) - someone who can work independently on multiple contracts while always looking for ways to improve processes. Above all, you understand how effective contract and supplier management underpins digital transformation, and you take pride in delivering contracts that help the organisation meet its wider goals.
