Assistant Executive Director - Oldham MBC

摘要

An opportunity has arisen at Old-ham MBC for an Assistant Executive Director (AED) - Commercial. The role is under the leadership of Executive Director - Commercial Services, Emma Alexander. The MJ spoke to Ms Alexander, who explains the opportunity for potential candidates. 'The Council in recent years brought together all its procurement activity into one function,' Ms Alexander says, 'to create one team covering all categories of spend, from adult and children's social care, to construction, property and professional services.' The creation of this Commercial Services division has redefined the service into two distinct elements. She explains: 'The first element is strategic sourcing - focusing on tendering, market shaping and market making, and the second on strategic relationship management of our contracts and our suppliers - particularly those suppliers in long-term, large scale contracts.'
