Main duties of the job

We are looking forward to recruiting to the new role of Head of Public Sector Customer Development who will not only build value adding commercial procurement services but also lead on the engagement with our public sector customers. This is an excellent opportunity to shape the way this service looks. We seek an innovative leader with a deep understanding of the public sector market and procurement regulations, as well as experience in customer relationship and account management.

As an integrated member of the Senior Leadership Team you will lead the future Procurement Customer relationship strategy bringing commercial growth and profitability whilst building strategic relationships with customers to develop growth opportunities. As well as leading customer engagement, the role will also be ultimately responsible for the development of two new YPO services, Consultancy Services and Training Academy.

About us

Established in 1974, YPO now has 50 years' experience in giving back to the public sector. Five decades ago, 13 local authorities came together to combine their buying demands and achieve efficiency, and that's when our organisation as it's known today began.

We supply products and services to a wide range of customers including schools, local authorities, charities, emergency services, the public sector, and other businesses such as nurseries and care homes.

We're 100% publicly owned by our 13 member authorities, which means the profits we make are returned to our public sector customers, delivering even better value for money.

We work closely with suppliers and collaborate with other public sector buying organisations to achieve efficiencies and value for money. Through collaboration, YPO provides products and services to meet specific needs and objectives, through a wide range of procurement categories and frameworks.

We believe that every penny counts YPO offers an opportunity to make an impact and a real difference by delivering social value and outcomes in the communities it serves.
