A Snapshot of Your Day

As a Procurement Program Manager within our Small Gas Turbines business, you will take ownership of complex procurement projects and strategic programs that support operational stability, business performance and the continued development of our global supply chain.

You will manage initiatives from initial scope through to delivery, bringing together Procurement, Supply Chain, Engineering, Finance and other stakeholders to ensure projects remain on schedule, within budget and aligned with business objectives. Alongside project delivery, you will work directly with suppliers, manage commercial negotiations and use data and reporting to provide senior leadership with clear visibility of performance, risks and opportunities.

This is a senior specialist role offering significant autonomy and the opportunity to combine procurement expertise, project management and commercial judgement to influence strategic priorities across Small Gas Turbines.

How You’ll Make An Impact

• Lead end-to-end delivery of complex procurement projects and strategic programs, defining scope, success criteria, project plans, milestones, resources and timelines in collaboration with senior stakeholders.
• Manage project financial performance, including budgets, forecasting and variance analysis, while producing clear performance dashboards and reporting for Monthly Operational Reviews and leadership forums.
• Lead strategic sourcing and supplier activities, including supplier identification, evaluation, selection, performance management and complex commercial negotiations for direct materials and services.
• Manage procurement execution across projects, ensuring materials and services are available against required schedules while overseeing supply chain risks, contracts, Material Requirements Planning, inventory requirements and supplier performance.
• Use SAP, Power BI and procurement data to analyse performance, identify trends and provide actionable insight while driving improvements to processes, cost, efficiency and compliance.
• Act as a procurement subject matter expert across the business, resolving complex issues, supporting cross-functional stakeholders and coaching less experienced colleagues to strengthen capability across the team.

What You Bring

• Significant professional experience across procurement and project or program management, ideally gained within a complex manufacturing, engineering or similarly technical corporate environment.
• Proven experience independently managing large or complex projects and strategic programs, including project planning, budgets, financial performance, risks, milestones and senior stakeholder reporting.
• Strong direct procurement and strategic sourcing expertise, including supplier selection, contract management, supplier relationship management and leading complex commercial negotiations.
• Strong financial and analytical capability, with experience managing budgets, forecasting and performance reporting. Proficiency with Power BI and experience using SAP within procurement or supply chain operations would be highly advantageous.
• Excellent stakeholder management, negotiation and communication skills, with the ability to operate as a subject matter expert and influence senior stakeholders, suppliers and cross-functional teams.
• A Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain Management, Business Administration, Engineering or a related discipline, or equivalent relevant professional experience. CPIM, CPSM or another relevant professional certification would be advantageous.
