- Supporting cost rationalisation and identifying opportunities for strategic sourcing across critical supplier groups.
- Providing procurement expertise on contracts, supplier performance, and commercial negotiations.
What’s in it for you:
This is a rare opportunity to take full ownership of the procurement function in a business where you’ll have direct access to executive leadership and the ability to shape commercial strategy. You’ll work closely with operational leaders across the country, in a collaborative, fast-paced environment that values pragmatism and initiative. This role offers variety, visibility, and the chance to make a genuine impact as the procurement function continues to mature.
