Job description

We are recruiting for a Director of Strategic Procurement to join a growing organisation operating with a fast-paced, start-up mentality.

This is a highly hands-on leadership role, ideal for someone who enjoys building procurement functions, improving processes and driving real change. We're not looking for someone who simply delegates to a large team - we need someone who can lead from the front and demonstrate what great procurement looks like.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop and execute procurement strategies across the business.
• Lead strategic sourcing, supplier negotiations and contract management.
• Establish procurement processes, policies and best practices.
• Drive cost savings, operational efficiencies and supplier performance.
• Integrate and standardise procurement functions across business units.
• Work closely with senior leadership and key stakeholders.

What We're Looking For:

• Extensive experience in strategic procurement, sourcing and supplier management.
• Proven experience building or transforming procurement functions.
• Strong commercial negotiation and contract management skills.
• A hands-on leader who is comfortable operating with a lean team.
• A confident, resilient personality with the backbone to challenge stakeholders and drive change.
• Someone who thrives in an evolving, entrepreneurial environment.

This is an excellent opportunity for a commercially minded procurement leader who wants to make a genuine impact, build something successful and take ownership rather than simply oversee a function.
