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).

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.

• 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.

• Ensure strong connect across the wider CP Organization within Shell to ensure continuous cross sharing and leverage of best practices.
