Director of Supply Chain Finance – Specsavers

Dave HenshallProcess

Yesterday, Specsavers placed an add for a Director of Supply Chain Finance.

This is a bold move for which Specsavers should be congratulated and reflects the growing importance of Procurement and the Supply Chain. The problem for procurement is that they are seeking qualified accountants to apply for this job, not supply management experts with financial acumen. What do you think of this development and does it matter if these roles are taken by accountants not supply people?
