Overview

Procurement Manager

Are you a strategic thinker with a passion for ethical procurement and commercial excellence? We're looking for a Procurement Manager to lead and evolve our global procurement function - ensuring value, compliance, and sustainability across our operations.

This is a unique opportunity to shape procurement strategy in a complex, international organisation. You'll work at both strategic and operational levels, driving innovation, managing supplier relationships, and embedding best practices that support our commercial and ESG goals.

About the Role

As Procurement Manager, you'll be responsible for developing and delivering a procurement framework that supports our global operations. You'll lead high-value sourcing projects, manage key supplier categories, and ensure procurement activities align with legal, regulatory, and ethical standards.

You'll work closely with stakeholders across departments - including finance, legal, operations, and risk - to ensure procurement is efficient, transparent, and aligned with our broader business objectives. Initially reporting into the Risk function, this role offers autonomy and the opportunity to build a best-in-class procurement approach from the ground up, with full support from the Chief Risk Officer and wider team.

What We're Looking For

We're seeking a commercially minded, proactive individual who can operate independently and drive procurement excellence across a complex global landscape.

You'll bring:

• A solution-focused mindset with strong problem-solving skills.
• Experience analysing data to improve performance and decision-making.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
• A dynamic, adaptable approach to managing a varied workload.
• Exceptional attention to detail and a commitment to quality.
• Strong commercial awareness and a customer-centric approach.

Why Join Healix?

• Be part of a purpose-driven organisation with a global footprint.
• Lead procurement strategy in a role with real autonomy and impact.
• Collaborate with passionate professionals across departments and regions.
• Contribute to meaningful goals around sustainability, governance, and social value.
• Enjoy a supportive environment that values innovation, integrity, and continuous improvement.
