Procurement Speclisit Review

I am procurement specialist in Raw materials which is a operational role where I have a responsibility to look after 5 plants and if there any issues relating to deliveries than I am the first point of escalation to handle and resolve the urgent issues. On a daily basis I deal with plant stakeholders, buyers in procurement and suppliers.

Yes I have developed new skills especially in Procurement whereby I have developed in technical skills. I have also developed more on my soft skills and have developed and grown as a person.

I enjoy working in Procurement and at Mondelez as there are many extra curricular activities to take part in. I am part of the early careers network core planning team where I help plan events for all the apprentices, grads and interns.

The programme is very well structured. I know what stage I am at and what modules I am doing.

I receive a lot of support from my employer. I have regular catch ups with the early careers lead in Procurement to check in how I am getting on with my placement and how I am finding uni. I also have weekly meetings with my manager where we check in how I am getting on in the role. I have regular catch ups with my mentor to advise me.

I receive support often, I can book in office hours with my module tutors if I need support. I have regular webinar sessions where I can ask for support. I have regular catch up with my skills coach where we discuss progress and how I am getting on and if I have any concerns with completing my knowledge, skills and behaviors for university.

Yes there is loads of extra-curricular activities to get involved in at Mondelez, there is volunteering, being part of inclusion groups at work and also extra curricular activities in the individual functions.

Yes

There is so much support available and everyone you meet is always willing to help. As Mondelez International is a multi-national company there is a opportunity to move functions and explore different areas. There are many extra-curricular activities for employees to get involved in.

Make sure you research about Mondelez, what brands they own, what their values are. Be your authentic self. Understand whether the company is right for you.
