The Opportunity An exciting opportunity has become available for an experienced Procurement Lead to join a growing organisation and play a key role in establishing and developing its procurement function.
This is a newly created opportunity for a procurement professional who enjoys building structure, improving processes and delivering tangible commercial outcomes. You will work across a complex, multi-entity environment with significant opportunity to review existing supplier arrangements, strengthen governance and identify opportunities to improve value.
This is not a role where you'll simply inherit an established procurement framework. You'll have the opportunity to shape how procurement operates across the Group and work closely with stakeholders to implement sustainable change.
The Role
- Developing and implementing procurement policies, processes and governance frameworks.
- Managing end-to-end sourcing, tendering and contract negotiations.
- Reviewing existing supplier and contractual arrangements and identifying opportunities for improved value.
- Identifying and delivering cost-saving and commercial improvement opportunities.
- Improving spend visibility and supplier management across the Group.
- Working across categories including property, facilities, cleaning, gardening, utilities, IT and professional services.
- Developing stronger supplier onboarding, governance and performance management processes.
- Partnering with stakeholders across multiple business units to understand requirements and implement practical procurement solutions.
- Driving continuous improvement across procurement systems and processes.
- Providing leadership and direction to an existing staff member.
- Developing a longer-term procurement strategy and roadmap.
About You
We're looking for a commercially minded procurement professional who is comfortable operating autonomously and enjoys working in an environment where they can genuinely make an impact.
You will ideally have
- 5 years' experience across procurement, sourcing or commercial functions.
- Strong experience across indirect or corporate procurement.
