About the Role

As our Supplier Management Specialist, you will own the day-to-day operation of Supplier Management across easyJet while helping to mobilise and embed Third Party Risk Management (TPRM) into the business. You will be the central point of contact for Supplier Management activity, providing practical support with queries, issue resolution, processes, and continuous improvement. A key part of your role will be ensuring Ivalua operates as a system of action, not simply a system of record, and helping to connect process design with day-to-day delivery as TPRM is rolled out.

Responsibilities

Support Supplier Managers and business stakeholders with supplier onboarding, lifecycle management, performance processes, data and reporting.
Promote consistent use of Supplier Management processes across the business.

Support the mobilisation of TPRM through process testing, documentation, training and rollout activity.
Help resolve early-stage issues and ensure new processes work effectively in day-to-day operations.
Own the operational execution of TPRM through Supplier Management processes as the capability becomes established.
Support supplier risk identification, classification, due diligence, onboarding, monitoring and review activity.
Maintain visibility of supplier risk exposure and support escalation where required.
Own the day-to-day operation of Supplier Management processes within Ivalua.
Monitor risk workflows, dashboards and alerts to ensure actions are assigned and completed within expected timescales.
Follow up on overdue or incomplete actions and help stakeholders address issues.
Identify where controls are not being followed, drive corrective action and escalate material concerns.
Triage complex issues and connect colleagues with specialists across areas including Legal, Risk and Compliance.
Track recurring issues and address their root causes rather than relying on short-term fixes.
Produce operational reporting covering Supplier Management activity, process compliance, adoption and risk workflow completion.
Provide clear, practical insight to support leadership reporting and decision-making.
Deliver role-based training and support the onboarding of new Supplier Managers and stakeholders.
Create accessible guidance that helps colleagues understand how to complete activities in Ivalua and during business-as-usual operations.
Continuously improve processes, data and ways of working by identifying and resolving business pain points.
