When you’re spending ten figures a year, you need to be way beyond just 
asking ‘how many, and how much?’. So as part of our forward-facing Future 
Sheffield change programme, we’re taking a holistic look at what we really 
need to make the biggest difference to Sheffield’s communities. What are the 
drivers of supply and demand? How does the market we’re operating in work? 
How can our commissioning strategy and behaviour improve outcomes? 
And if that’s the way you think too, we should talk. 
This brand new role is designed to exemplify the next generation of public 
service commissioning. We’re taking a first-principles, wholly integrated 
approach to everything we procure, across all categories. System thinking 
will power the whole team, and you’ll be the person who brings it all together 
into a strategically elegant whole. Sound good?
Candidates will be at the top of their profession: technically astute, analytically impressive, relationally deft, and with the ability to take the biggest of big-picture views. You’ll have a track record of innovative commissioning, substantive market stewardship, building a culture that transforms organisations, and getting things done in a practical, hands-on manner.
