The Opportunity
We’re supporting a large, well-established multi-site business with the appointment of a Procurement Manager.
You’ll own a category portfolio with significant spend, reporting to the Head of Procurement and managing a Buyer of your own. The business is open on whether your background is in direct or indirect procurement, and the portfolio will be matched to your experience.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop and deliver category strategies that achieve savings, quality and service targets.
- Own category budgets and reforecast monthly, tracking market pricing against contract.
- Negotiate with suppliers and build senior-level relationships with clear performance targets.
- Line manage and develop a Buyer.
- Work with senior stakeholders across the business on cross-functional projects.
What We’re Looking For
You’ll have end-to-end procurement experience, including category strategy, negotiation and supplier management, at Procurement Manager or strong Senior Buyer level.
Category and industry background are open, direct or indirect. What matters most is adaptability, the ability to juggle several priorities, and building excellent supplier relationships. Previous people management is an advantage, but they’re open to someone ready for their first direct report.
Why Join?
You’ll have real ownership of spend and supplier relationships, a Buyer to develop, and a business with a strong record of promoting its people.
