Job Description

As Global Procurement Transformation & Capability Manager you will own the procurement‑wide transformation and capability agenda – setting direction, designing programmes, and driving adoption across a complex, global matrix organisation.

Reporting to the Procurement Excellence Director, you will translate strategic priorities into scalable frameworks, playbooks, and learning pathways that strengthen how procurement operates across regions. The role blends programme leadership with a sharp change management instinct, working closely with procurement leadership, regional teams, and functions such as Finance, IT and HR to deliver measurable outcomes.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Own and drive the global procurement transformation roadmap – leading change programmes that improve ways of working, governance and process clarity across regions.
• Design and deliver global capability programmes, including learning pathways, competency frameworks and onboarding standards for the procurement function.
• Lead digital enablement initiatives – defining business needs, driving adoption of new tools and strengthening procurement data and performance management.
• Develop and maintain procurement policy and compliance training, coordinating global roll‑out and tracking adoption across regions.
• Lead change management and communications plans for transformation initiatives, including M&A integration assessments involving procurement.
• Define KPI frameworks and benefits realisation tracking, preparing executive‑ready updates for leadership.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of experience in procurement, transformation or capability development in a global or multi‑region environment.
• Proven track record leading complex change programmes end‑to‑end – from design to adoption tracking.
• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills, with the ability to influence senior leaders in a matrix organisation.
• Experience designing and delivering training programmes, playbooks and structured change‑management plans.
• Exposure to digital enablement, data‑driven improvement and partnering with IT or Finance.
• Bachelor’s degree required; Master’s preferred (MBA, Organisational Change or similar).
