About the role
The Global Procurement Site team is responsible for Procurement across all the GSK manufacturing Sites for Pharma, Vaccines and Consumer. The team covers Direct and Indirect spend, and focuses on the creation and execution of Procurement strategies by creating strong relationships with stakeholders at different levels within the Site.
Procurement is accountable for establishing and nurturing value-focused relationships with third parties. The Site Procurement Manager (SPM) partners with the local Site teams in order to drive and support across all the dimensions of Procurement delivery. At a strategic level, the SPM leads the alignment with the Site Leadership Team; ensures the Site business needs and priorities are well understood and supported from Global Category Procurement teams and contributes, directly or indirectly, to the strategic management of key suppliers. From a more tactical perspective, the SPM leads the local Procurement team in the operational management of activities, implementation of sourcing strategies and other global projects. They also ensure that the daily needs and transactional activities are executed in accordance with GSK’s policies and SOPs and that the communication provided to the local Procurement team and the stakeholder community is relevant and effective.
Belgium Engineering and Maintenance creates a new department “Contractor Management” part of the Belgium Engineering Transformation. The team is being created to support the strategy of safety first, quality always and profitable growth for all the Belgium sites.
The level of management of contractors for hard, soft, technical and intellectual external services across the different departments of Belgium Operations, Quality and R&D is not robust with lack of accountability leading to gaps in safety and quality requirements and poor efficiency and performance on supply and cost management. This has been confirmed by several A&A and L2 audits.
This new department is being created to provide clear accountability and focus for GSK Vaccines Belgium Service contracts and doing so close the EHS and quality gaps identified.

It’s someone that is so well connected that they find things out, they get to know things from various sources and then they put two and two together to make five. It’s someone who can connect the dots. Who can challenge collaboratively and lead others to deliver the value. Someone others are drawn to because they know that that person will help make them be successful.
