Over the summer, EMEA Recruitment has been evaluating the role of Procurement and Supply Chain functions within businesses. Given the significant impact of global events in recent years, the importance of these functions has never been greater. It’s unsurprising that many companies have completed or are undergoing transformation projects to ensure "best-in-class" service delivery in an increasingly AI-driven world. 

Effective Procurement and Supply Chain teams go beyond cost-cutting; they create substantial value and resilience within a company. By strategically managing resources, assessing risks, and prioritising sustainable practices, they ensure that business operations are not only efficient but also prepared for future challenges. This added value extends to areas such as:

• Achieving financial and value targets
• Meeting sustainability goals
• Evaluating suppliers to safeguard the employer's brand
• Ensuring business continuity
• Minimising business risks
• Improving customer satisfaction

Companies that have elevated their Procurement and Supply Chain functions and integrated them across the business are significantly more attractive to candidates seeking their next career opportunity.
