Job Description:

Are you ready to lead on strategic procurement across a high-profile academic partnership?

Insight Executive Group is delighted to be managing the recruitment of a Senior Procurement Partnership Manager on behalf of the University of Greenwich – a key leadership role within a progressive procurement function that supports vital services, sustainability targets, and university-wide transformation.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced procurement professional looking to make a tangible impact in a collaborative and values-led organisation – with a healthy work-life balance and flexible hybrid working built in.

The University of Greenwich offers a hybrid working pattern, with 1 day per week in SE London and 1 day in Chatham, Kent.

About the Role

As Senior Procurement Partnership Manager, you will:

• Lead procurement activity for key directorates, including the Faculty of Health and Science.
• Manage the University’s Print Room Team, supporting operational efficiency and the Carbon Reduction Programme.
• Deliver compliant, effective tendering across supplies, services, and works contracts.
• Build strong supplier relationships and oversee contract management for high-value, strategically important projects.
• Support innovation and improvements across digital procurement, contract data, and sustainability performance.

This is a visible role with wide stakeholder engagement – so excellent communication, influencing, and organisational skills are key.

What We’re Looking For:

• A minimum of five years’ procurement experience, particularly in tendering, contract planning, and supplier negotiation.
• Knowledge of public procurement legislation (e.g. PCR 2015).
• A relevant qualification – ideally MCIPS or a degree in a related supply chain discipline.
• Experience leading teams and working across diverse stakeholders.
• Strong analytical skills, a commitment to customer service, and a proactive, improvement-focused mindset.

Why Join the University of Greenwich?

• Be part of a forward-thinking university with a strong commitment to sustainability, inclusion, and impact.
• Shape procurement activity that supports academic excellence, research, and operational delivery.
• Enjoy a flexible working pattern – 2 days on-site per week, with remote working for the remainder.
• Competitive salary up to £55,000 and access to an excellent benefits package.
