Are you confident working with systems, data and digital tools? Do you enjoy making processes more efficient, improving data quality and helping colleagues get the best out of technology?

We have an exciting opportunity for a Digital Procurement and Data Analyst to join our Corporate Procurement Service. This is a varied role where you will support the Council’s move towards a more digital-first approach to procurement and commercial processes, helping to make systems and data more efficient, compliant and transparent.

This role would suit someone who is analytical, organised and curious about how digital tools can improve the way services work. You will need to be comfortable working with data from different sources, using Excel and Power Query, and supporting others to develop confidence in digital ways of working.
