Location: Multiple office locations across England & Scotland

I'm currently partnering with a leading global consultancy that is looking to strengthen its Procurement Transformation practice with the appointment of Consultants and Senior Consultants across several UK locations.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a growing team delivering complex procurement transformation programmes for major organisations across a range of industries. The focus is on helping clients improve procurement performance through operating model design, digital transformation, sustainability initiatives and cost optimisation.

With opportunities at both Consultant and Senior Consultant level, we're keen to speak with individuals from either consulting or industry backgrounds who have experience delivering meaningful procurement change.

Key Responsibilities:

• Support the delivery of procurement transformation programmes, helping clients improve processes, operating models and overall procurement effectiveness.
• Develop and implement procurement strategies, including cost reduction, category management and supplier performance improvement initiatives.
• Contribute to the design and implementation of Procurement Target Operating Models, aligning processes, technology and organisational structures.
• Support digital procurement initiatives, identifying opportunities to improve efficiency through technology, data and automation.
• Work closely with client stakeholders to deliver sustainable procurement strategies, incorporating ESG objectives and responsible sourcing.
• Contribute to the development of client proposals, procurement transformation methodologies and wider consulting propositions.

Key Skills:

Ideal for individuals with a solid procurement background looking to develop their consulting and transformation experience. You'll support project delivery, undertake analysis, contribute to procurement strategy development and work closely with experienced consultants on client engagements.

We're looking for individuals with greater experience delivering procurement transformation initiatives, capable of independently managing project workstreams, leading client discussions and supporting junior team members. Experience delivering cost reduction, category management or operating model transformation projects would be particularly relevant.

• Work on large-scale, high-impact transformation programmes across a diverse client base.
• Gain exposure to procurement strategy, digital transformation, sustainability and commercial improvement projects.
