The Vacancy
What we are looking for
We are looking for a permanent, full time Procurement & Contracts Manager to lead the National Library of Scotland on procurement matters, manage a small team of procurement professionals and work closely with managers across the Library to support them buying goods and services.
Due to the efforts of current post holder, who is retiring, there are excellent procurement foundations, and you will have the chance to develop these and add your own ideas.
The Library values the skills that procurement professionals bring, and the Procurement & Contracts Manager is a member of the Library’s Extended Management Team (EMT).
What we can offer you
The Library is a great place to work and this is an exciting opportunity for someone who wishes to develop their professional and management skills in an interesting organisation at the heart of Scotland’s cultural life.
You’ll have the opportunity to work flexibly, where the service allows, and we’ll invest in your future by providing training and development opportunities.
We offer access to the excellent civil service pension scheme and you will get a generous annual leave allowance and other benefits. And of course, you’ll join a team of great colleagues.
You can contact Anthony Gillespie (Chief Operating Officer) a.gillespie@nls.uk if you have any questions about the post. Interviews will be held the week commencing 01 July 2024.
