Job description

Procurement Manager, Non-Food Hemel Hempstead (Hybrid – 3 days/week in office) Annual salary + bonus and benefits

As a Procurement Manager, you'll be right at the heart of delivering our category strategy for Non-Food within Operations. Think linen, cleaning materials, kitchen equipment etc. Working closely with the Category Manager, you'll own everything from sourcing and contracting through to building strong supplier relationships that actually work. You'll be the driving force behind optimising our spend, ensuring our partners deliver real value, and keeping operations running smoothly—all whilst supporting Haven's bigger business goals. Your mission? To balance the commercial side of things with what matters most: maintaining brilliant service, fostering innovation, upholding quality standards, and never compromising on safety. It's about finding suppliers who get what we're about and building partnerships that help us grow sustainably whilst making a genuine difference.

What you will be doing:

• Leading category procurement end-to-end - from sourcing strategy and RFP execution through to supplier evaluation, commercial negotiations, and contract lifecycle management (renewals, renegotiations, risk mitigation)
• Building and influencing stakeholder relationships - working across all levels (up to Director) to shape business requirements, challenge assumptions, and drive commercially effective outcomes that align with procurement best practice
• Developing commercially smart sourcing strategies - optimising total cost of ownership, balance cost with quality/service/innovation, and identifying savings opportunities through spend analysis and market research
• Managing supplier performance and value delivery - applying management frameworks, establish SLAs and KPIs, conducting regular reviews, and driving continuous improvement whilst maintaining quality and service standards
• Collaborating across functions - partnering with Finance to track and validate savings, supporting governance activities, and championing process improvements that strengthen procurement operations

What we’d like you to bring:

• Procurement experience, ideally across relevant Operational categories, with proven success developing and implementing sourcing activity that delivers cost and operational benefits
• Strong commercial and contracting knowledge
• Solid understanding of contract terms, conditions and supplier contract development, plus familiarity with procurement systems and sourcing tools (e.g. Coupa or similar)
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills - you work naturally across business functions, manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment, and have strong organisational skills with meticulous attention to detail
• Strategic procurement mindset - proactive and commercially aware, with knowledge of procurement principles, supplier relationship management and strategic sourcing methodologies; passionate about identifying process improvements and building trusted supplier relationships
• Results-focused delivery drive - you're determined to deliver value through procurement, with a continuous eye on optimising performance and driving tangible business outcomes

What’s In It For You?

• Annual bonus
• Generous discounts on both Haven and Warner Hotels holiday for you, family and friends
• Comprehensive wellbeing support
