Function - SCM Business Integration

Location - Nottingham - Hybrid

Type: Permanent (37.5 hours per week)

The Value Stream Lead - Source to Pay plays a pivotal role in NHS Supply Chain's major transformation programme, leading the design and implementation of new, best-practice business processes from the ground up.

This is not a role focused on incremental change-it requires bold thinking and the creation of out-of-the-box solutions that redefine how the organisation operates. The successful candidate will take full ownership of both the current ('as-is') and future ('to-be') process landscapes, acting as a gatekeeper to ensure alignment across teams and stakeholders.

This autonomous position offers the opportunity to contribute to a large-scale, multi-year transformation, with long-term responsibility for process performance and continuous improvement. It provides high visibility across the organisation and valuable experience in ERP transformation, stakeholder engagement, and process leadership.

Reporting to the Head of End-to-End Process, the Value Stream Lead will collaborate closely with subject matter experts, programme teams, internal cross functional departments, and external stakeholders, including customers and suppliers.

• Process Ownership & Leadership - Champion and define future ways of working.
• Process Mapping & Documentation - Understand and document current processes.
• Design & Requirements Definition - Lead the creation of future processes and translate them into system requirements.
• Change Management & Testing - Support implementation, testing, and ensure a successful go live.
• Performance Monitoring - Establish metrics and monitor long term process performance.

• Hybrid working opportunities, giving you the flexibility to work collaboratively in the office and remotely.
• We recognise our employees' hard work and contributions through annual bonus schemes, long service awards, and VIP colleague awards.
