Overview

Procurement Director - Major FM & Fit Out Projects (EMEA) | Global Fortune 500 | London (Hybrid) | Strong Package

To apply & learn more please contact [e-mail]

I'm working with a Fortune 500 powerhouse that's reshaping how procurement delivers value across facilities management, real estate, and large-scale fit out projects. This is a business where procurement acts as a strategic engine driving growth, innovation, and client success across EMEA.

A career-defining opportunity has emerged for a Procurement Director to lead transformation at the heart of a high-growth business line across FM, Real Estate & Fit-Out. You'll partner directly with board-level stakeholders to set strategy, unlock commercial advantage, and build a regional team from the ground up.

This is a front-line leadership role with real influence where procurement is positioned as a catalyst for supplier innovation, operational excellence, and project delivery across multiple markets.

Why This Role Stands Out:

• Board-Level Influence: You\'ll contribute directly to strategic decisions alongside the regional CEO and COO, embedding procurement into the DNA of the business.
• Transformation Mandate: Lead the evolution of procurement across EMEA driving strategies, introducing governance, supplier frameworks, and commercial best practices that deliver measurable impact.
• Growth Trajectory: Initially a standalone role, with a clear path to build and lead a regional procurement team within 12-36 months.
• Strategic Scope: From supplier strategy and risk management to client-facing engagement and ESG contribution, this is a truly end-to-end leadership opportunity.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Develop and execute sourcing strategies across FM, Fit-Out and construction projects in EMEA.
• Influence senior stakeholders (MDs, PMs, C-suite) to embed procurement as a strategic partner.
• Lead supplier qualification, onboarding, and performance management across multiple geographies.
• Deliver transformation within your first 90 days-establishing governance, driving savings, and shaping procurement adoption.
• Represent procurement in client meetings and contribute to ESG and compliance initiatives.
• Define and build a regional procurement team to support future growth.

What You'll Bring:

• 10+ years\' experience in project procurement across FM, Fit-Out, Real Estate or Construction.
• Proven success in matrix environments driving change through influence, not hierarchy.
• Strong stakeholder management skills, with the gravitas to engage at board level.
• Deep commercial acumen and market knowledge across EMEA.
• Fluency in French highly desirable.

What Success Looks Like:

• Procurement embedded as a strategic lever across projects.
• Supplier frameworks and governance delivering measurable value.
• Stakeholder buy-in and adoption across key markets.
• Clear roadmap for team growth and procurement maturity.

This is a rare opportunity to lead procurement transformation for a global powerhouse-shaping strategy, influencing outcomes, and building something lasting. If you\'re ready to step into a high-impact role with real board exposure and regional scope, I\'d love to hear from you.
