Job description

Established in 2007, Constellia is one of Britain’s fastest-growing private companies, ranked in the Sunday Times 100 in both 2024 and 2025, and a leading Neutral Vendor Managed Service Provider in the UK.

We manage over £400 million of spend across 200+ public and private sector organisations and are the UK’s only Neutral Vendor enabling public sector and utility clients to procure Goods, Services, Technology and Works through a single, compliant route.

We are looking for a driven procurement professional who thrives in an energetic environment and is seeking much more than just another procurement role. Our Head Office is based in Nottingham but you will be home based with client site visits on a regular basis. A growth mindset and a genuine appetite to be exceptional and do things better are critical.

You will be responsible for owning relationships with major public sector clients, providing direct support with their sourcing requirements.

This role owns key client relationships and carries responsibility for managing in excess of £50m of indirect spend. Through strategic sourcing and transactional procurement activity, you will operate as an extension of the client’s existing procurement function.

Responsibilities

• Acting as the primary point of contact for clients
• Developing strong relationships with senior client stakeholders
• Leading and engaging with Constellia colleagues to ensure successful delivery of support across implementation, procurement operations, finance and legal
• Conducting large-scale strategic sourcing activity across a broad range of indirect spend categories
• Engaging and negotiating with suppliers
• Providing delivery assurance and performance management

Skills & Experience

• 5–10 years’ experience in procurement business partnering roles
• Experience in either the public or private sector
• Strong indirect spend experience
• A strong sense of ownership — defined by what you deliver
• A driven starter–finisher and “fixer” who actively seeks opportunities to improve how things are done
• Keen to grow skills as the business grows, demonstrating a clear growth mindset

As a Neutral Vendor, we act as a trusted conduit between contracting authorities and pre-qualified suppliers, providing a fast, transparent and fully compliant route to market via Neutral Vendor Frameworks. Our diverse marketplace includes over 3,000 pre-approved suppliers, giving clients access to 400+ spend sub-categories.

Constellia enables public sector organisations to buy quickly, compliantly and with confidence through one simple route, delivering measurable efficiencies, social value and cost savings
