  • Lead regular supplier follow-ups and track open actions, milestones and delivery risks through to closure.

  • Monitor supplier performance against contractual schedules, deliverables and payment milestones.

  • Ensure invoices and payments are processed in line with agreed terms.

  • Escalate commercial or contractual issues when required and support resolution together with relevant internal stakeholders.

  • Build strong working relationships with suppliers and ensure clear, structured communication throughout the project.

  • Capture lessons learned from project execution and feed them back into future sourcing and contracting.
