We support the Council in delivering efficient, compliant, and high-performing procurement and purchasing processes with quick turnarounds to provide technical support for both internal and external users of the Oracle Fusion Cloud System. The Procure-to-Pay process, also known as the P2P process, connects the Procurement and entire supply chain processes within an organisation through to the raising of a requisition to generate a purchase order, receipting of goods/services and finally to the payment issued to the vendor.
As a Procurement Systems Officer, you will be responsible for managing the council's Procure to Pay (P2P) systems and supplier database within Oracle. You'll play a crucial role in maintaining purchasing card processes, supporting users across the council, developing and issuing management reports, and ensuring data accuracy and compliance with procurement governance.
Key responsibilities include:
- Maintaining the Procure 2 Pay (P2P) process within the council's ERP system
- Ensuring effective system operations with requestors/approvers and external suppliers
- Managing the council's supplier database, including onboarding new suppliers and maintaining accurate records
- Developing and issuing financial and performance related reports
- Training council officers on the P2P systems and processes
- Monitoring compliance and governance with P2P processes
- Maintaining the council's purchasing card system

We are looking for an enthusiastic, hardworking individual with excellent problem solving and communications skills to join us on a permanent basis that has experience in working within a Finance/Procurement setting or has a good understanding of the Procurement & P2P processes. Experience of using Oracle Fusion Cloud Systems is highly desirable.
A basic DBS check is required, however, if you are successful and do not have a valid DBS check we will arrange this for you internally.
