Job Description:
Your new company
I’m currently supporting a brilliant not-for-profit to recruit a Procurement Manager whilst they invest in smarter, more efficient ways of working. You’ll play a pivotal role in shaping the future of its procurement function and driving meaningful commercial impact across an addressable spend of approximately £20 million p.a across a variety of indirect categories.
This is a fantastic opportunity for an ambitious Procurement Manager to lead strategic and operational change while ensuring that value, quality, and service excellence remain at the heart of every decision.
Your new role
As Procurement Manager, you will lead end to end sourcing activity across a diverse range of goods and services. You’ll design and implement a robust Procurement Strategy, develop a clear three-year sourcing roadmap, and introduce best practice procurement processes that support organisational goals.
* Lead sourcing projects from specification design to supplier negotiation.
* Conduct detailed spend analysis and identify opportunities for cost savings and risk reduction.
* Build strong, collaborative relationships with senior stakeholders, influencing buy-in across operational teams.
* Implement and manage a preferred supplier list, ensuring compliance and preventing contract leakage.
* Deliver sustained commercial benefits through efficient supplier and contract management.
* Champion a culture of accountability, integrity, and continuous improvement within procurement activity.
Spend categories may include food, consumables, equipment, property, IT, agency staffing, print, uniforms, telecoms etc.
What you’ll need to succeed
* Proven experience leading procurement activity across multiple indirect categories.
* Strong commercial acumen with the ability to deliver measurable cost savings.
* Excellent analytical skills, with confidence handling both qualitative and quantitative data.
* Experience designing procurement processes and strategies aligned to operational needs.
* The ability to influence and engage with a range of stakeholders across all levels
* It would be beneficial if you had experience with procurement systems, especially procure-to-pay.
* Strong negotiation skills and a proactive approach to identifying opportunities for improvement.
* A collaborative mindset, with the confidence to operate autonomously and drive projects independently.
What you’ll get in return
* A salary between £48,000 - £58,000
* Flexible working opportunities with a minimum of two days in office
* A range of other benefits from a competitive pension, holiday allowance and bonus
