"As a Purchasing Manager, I am constantly under presser to deliver value. That can be in decreasing spend, improving quality, delivery, insight into the function, etc. As the industry is global, pressure and new challenges can come from anywhere and at any time. Part of being a great PM is setting up systems that can accommodate these pressures."
