Job description

Our client is looking for an experienced procurement professional to lead and shape procurement activity across their organisation. This is an excellent opportunity for someone with strong public sector procurement knowledge to influence strategy, deliver value, and ensure compliance with legislation and best practice.

You’ll bring proven experience in managing complex procurement projects, preparing tenders, negotiating contracts, and applying commercial acumen. A detailed understanding of public procurement regulations is essential, along with the ability to engage and influence senior stakeholders. This role could suit someone stepping up from a Senior Buyer or Senior Procurement Officer position, or moving across from a Procurement Manager or Purchasing Manager role in another public procurement regulated environment.

Our client offers flexible hybrid working, with the team coming together in the office once a week. Additional office time may be required on an ad-hoc basis depending on business needs. In this role, you’ll act as a lead procurement professional, driving best practice, shaping policy, and supporting major procurement initiatives. Professional development is encouraged, including progression towards MCIPS membership. If you’re passionate about delivering value and building strong relationships, this is the perfect next step.
