Mention a career in eProcurement, and most people will assume you're talking about catalogue spending or purchasing through the internet. Whilst this may be true in many organisations, it reveals only a fraction of what is currently happening at British Airways.

We're at the cutting edge of eProcurement, amongst the first wave of blue-chip companies to have a clearly defined eProcurement strategy. It's about more than introducing internet tools to procurement. It's about the application of web-based technology to integrate the business processes of our organisation with the business processes of our suppliers.

Put simply, eProcurement is about the smarter procurement of goods and services, and about simplifying the requisitioning of those goods and services. Done well, it enables us to put more effective supply arrangements in place and manage our suppliers' performance better. It ensures that the purchasing process is made fast, cheap and simple.

The implications are huge. Each year we purchase everything from fuel, hotels and advertising to office furnishings and in-flight entertainment. Whether it's fitting out a new Executive Club lounge, equipping our aircraft with the latest avionics or negotiating landing fees around the world, you'll be part of a team dedicated to delivering world class procurement performance.
