Role Purpose

The Procurement function in Flutter is responsible for the governance of external third party spend of over £6bn per annum across the various business units. Business Owners are supported in the management of this spend by Sourcing, Category Management, Contract Management, Supplier Risk Management and Due Diligence teams which are based across Divisions and Regions. The Procurement Data & Insights team work alongside these teams playing a critical role in turning data into actionable insights which drive strategic decision-making and value delivery across Flutter.

The Procurement Insights Manager is a new role within the team reporting to the Head of Procurement Business Intelligence. The individual will be responsible for delivering meaningful analysis and intelligence based on data available within Flutter, as well as using Market Intelligence (MI) to help the organisation optimise spend, manage supplier performance and find opportunities for improvement.

This role will serve as the driver on Procurement analytics and insights, regularly advising category leaders and providing visionary thinking to guide procurement initiatives. This role involves not only strong analytical capability, but also the ability to communicate findings clearly to both technical and non-technical collaborators.
