Senior Procurement Manager - Energy & Power
"High Profile Strategic Career Breakthrough Opportunity"
£Very Competitive Bonus Car Allowance Blue Chip Benefits | Hybrid UK Role |
You've already made an impact in energy or fuels procurement. You're managing complex supplier relationships, maybe influencing hedging conversations. But your career feels stuck - no movement, too much red tape, and no real ownership.
If you're looking for your first step into a true strategic leadership role, this is it.
We're working with a global market leader in industrial materials and infrastructure, with a procurement function undergoing major strategic transformation. This role offers you the chance to take full commercial ownership of a £500m Energy & Power category, and to operate at the heart of the business - not the sidelines.
What You'll Do
In this role, you'll report directly to the UK Procurement Director, and work shoulder-to-shoulder with senior Finance, Operations, and Sustainability leaders. You'll have full scope and ownership over:
* Procurement of electricity, gas, bitumen, liquid & solid fuels
* Hedging strategies and market timing
* Supporting renewable and self-generation delivery (solar farms, battery storage, CPPAs)
* Leading supplier engagement and strategic contract negotiations
* Presenting market risk insights and recommendations to the MD and CFO
* Contributing to cross-border energy steering group
The business operates within a matrixed, non-hierarchical structure, so you'll gain exposure to regional and global stakeholders across Western Europe - and be encouraged to drive change, not just manage processes.
About You
You may be a Category Manager, Senior Buyer, or Procurement Lead working in:
* Energy, utilities, or power
* Chemical, industrial, construction, or manufacturing sectors
* A large, complex matrixed organisation with formal procurement structures
You'll bring:
* Deep interest or experience in energy, electricity or fuels procurement
* Strong commercial instincts and analytical mindset
* The confidence to step up and take ownership in a senior, visible role
* Passion for sustainability and supply resilience
* Ambition to grow into a European or global role within 3-5 years
What's On Offer
* Bonus
* Full hybrid working policy
* A platform to elevate your career into strategic procurement leadership
