From £72,000  + Performance Related Bonus

Lead high-value procurement programmes that deliver real commercial outcomes and unlock your path to senior leadership.

With direct exposure to senior decision-makers and the chance to deliver real commercial value, you’ll fast-track your development and position yourself for that next big step.

You’ll work across a variety of industries and spend categories, gaining the kind of breadth and depth that builds long-term career momentum. Plus, you’ll be part of a CIPS award-winning team that’s trusted to deliver major transformation programmes.

On top of that, you’ll enjoy a package that supports your lifestyle and well-being: 25 days paid holiday, BUPA private medical insurance for you and your partner (with a very favourable ‘Medical History Disregarded’ policy), 50% salary Income Protection after 28 weeks, and death-in-service cover worth up to four times your salary.

Lead procurement and strategic sourcing workstreams, delivering cost savings, cash benefits and commercial improvements. You’ll plan and run sourcing activities, from RFI to supplier selection, and identify opportunities across cost reduction, demand management, supplier optimisation and contract improvement.

Use data-driven insight to identify opportunities through spend analysis, market assessment and stakeholder engagement. You’ll build evidence-based recommendations that stand up to scrutiny and present findings in a clear and practical way.

Strengthen client relationships by leading day-to-day engagement with stakeholders, supporting decisions through clear options and trade-offs, and addressing delivery issues early. You’ll drive innovation and adaptability by applying proven approaches to new problems and bringing external insight and market awareness into the work.
