Senior Procurement Manager

This is not a role for someone looking to inherit a finished product. It's an opportunity to help shape a procurement function that is evolving into a more strategic, commercially focused service. You'll have the autonomy to make improvements, the support to implement change and the chance to leave a lasting impact on both the team and the wider organisation.

The role

• Leading, developing and supporting a team of four Procurement Managers across a busy property services and maintenance portfolio.
• Driving the successful delivery of procurement projects, removing barriers and ensuring programmes continue to move forward.
• Providing strategic oversight of category planning, helping to prioritise and sequence procurement activity effectively.
• Ensuring procurement activity is compliant with the Procurement Act 2023 and wider public sector procurement legislation, whilst maintaining a commercial focus.
• Building strong relationships with stakeholders across the organisation to deliver value and influence decision making.
• Contributing to the ongoing development of the procurement function, identifying opportunities to improve processes, commercial outcomes and ways of working.

The person

• Strong knowledge of public sector procurement legislation, including the Procurement Act 2023 and/or the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.
• A commercial and strategic approach, with the confidence to challenge existing ways of working and drive continuous improvement.
• Experience of leading or developing procurement professionals, with the ability to motivate and support a high-performing team.
• The resilience and adaptability to succeed within an organisation going through significant transformation.

If you're motivated by solving problems, driving improvement and leading through change, we'd love to hear from you.
