Where you fit in
Contract Management roles are the primary interface to deliver “most competitive” supply chains for the relevant business. They proactively identify and understand the needs from business stakeholders and collaboratively propose the most competitive solutions, based on an exhaustive review across all available value levers (price, demand, specifications).
What’s the role?
As the Supply Chain Commercial Specialist, you are expected to perform the following:
- Design and improve with business partners the assigned supply chains, starting with inhouse/outsource choices and (re)designs, the contracting strategy and commercial tactics and post award contract management.
- Build and maintain strong network in the market, being fully aware of supplier developments and opportunities coming up in the market.
- Apply the CMCP process and CP (Contracting & Procurement) operations practices while focusing on contribution to the business drivers and not compromising on compliance for HSSE&SP, E&C, Code of Conduct, Laws and regulations.
- Understand the changes in the business, business drivers and external environment and trigger adjustment of supply chain end to end processes, category strategies and contracts.
- Manage relationships across the end-to-end supply chain for the assigned categories and ensure that stakeholders understand the intent of the contract and work together to achieve the desired business outcomes.
- Determine the right remuneration model (e.g. output-based contract) to encourage the right behaviours and expectations from suppliers to optimise alignment of supply chain and asset delivery.
- Drive total cost reductions and value beyond ‘the usual’. Identify opportunities in the contract portfolio to create more value and/or to eliminate waste.
- Drive continuous improvement by replicating game changer improvements and recommended practices. Facilitate discussions on process performance and inefficiencies.
- Conduct tenders evaluate bids & drive negotiations with Suppliers in line with CMCP guidance and in close collaboration with the business.
- Proactively identify & understand procurement needs from internal stakeholders and propose competitive solutions for the end-to-end Supply Chain.
- Ensure integrated ways of working with business and suppliers.
- Manage Supplier Relationship effectively and collaboratively drive continuous performance improvement via relevant contract key metrics (Eg: HSSE, Operations, Cost). This would involve constructively challenging the Suppliers in terms of the contract delivery and performance as well.
- Ensure strong connect across the wider CP Organization within Shell to ensure continuous cross sharing and leverage of best practices.
- Leading all contracting related activities for catalyst related services and toxic waste management and support EMS and TA Key Services in Shell Bukom and Jurong Island.
