Medical Supply Chain jobs

At Rolls-Royce SMR, we’re tackling the energy challenge head on by building the next generation of clean energy. We're developing innovative small modular reactors, making clean energy more accessible while creating a UK success story with the potential to transform energy systems around the world.

The appointment of a Supply Chain Programme Officer will be an essential role at Rolls Royce SMR to support the development and delivery of supply chain strategies and to provide day-to-day support across customer programme activities.

• Analyse options, risks and opportunities, providing recommendations to support programme and business decision-making.
• Operate within programme governance frameworks, preparing reporting, insights and communications for internal and external stakeholders.
• Drive progress across complex and ambiguous environments, balancing competing priorities to support successful programme outcomes.

We seek a collaborative and proactive individual who will have had exposure in regulated or safety‑critical environments (as you would expect nuclear "know-how" will be of great interest to us, whilst those from defence, aerospace and manufacturing sectors may all have transferable capability).

• Experience working within complex supply chain, procurement or programme environments, with the ability to operate beyond transactional or operational activities.
• Strong commercial awareness and strategic thinking, with the ability to assess options and make sound business recommendations.
• Proven ability to influence and engage stakeholders across multiple functions, levels and external organisations.
• Experience supporting programme delivery, governance and decision-making within a matrix or enterprise environment.
• Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to manage ambiguity, balance competing priorities and translate business objectives into supply chain outcomes.
• Background in procurement, strategic sourcing, supply chain management or programme management.
• Experience presenting to senior stakeholders and supporting customer-facing engagements.
