Procurement Manager

Your new company
You'll be joining a well‑established organisation operating within a regulated environment, where procurement plays a central role in achieving value for money, compliance, and strategic impact. The organisation is committed to best practice, continuous improvement, and ensuring its supply chain supports wider business objectives. You'll work within a collaborative finance function that promotes agile working and cross‑functional engagement.

Your new role
As Procurement Manager, you will lead on strategic sourcing activity across a defined portfolio of supply markets. You'll be responsible for delivering value, efficiencies and savings while ensuring full compliance with relevant legislation, processes and procedures.
Your role will involve managing the commercial lifecycle of contracts. You'll also act as a subject-matter expert, developing supply chain strategies, maintaining strong market insight, and supporting internal stakeholders to embed best practice.

What you'll need to succeed
You'll bring significant experience in procurement and contract management, ideally supported by a degree and/or a professional qualification such as CIPS (or working towards it). You'll demonstrate strong negotiation skills, a solid understanding of supply chain governance, and experience managing major contracts.
A background spanning both public and private sector procurement is desirable, alongside a proven ability to deliver results in a complex, multi-faceted environment. Strong knowledge of procurement legislation, commercial processes, and emerging best practice will be key to your success.

What you'll get in return
You'll take on a strategically important role where you can directly influence commercial outcomes and drive meaningful value across the organisation. You'll work with a supportive leadership team, benefit from agile working arrangements, and have the opportunity to shape supply chain strategy within a forward‑looking and impact‑driven environment.
