Job Description:
Senior Procurement Manager – FM & Operations – C.London (hybrid) – Succession Planning - £95,000 - £100,000 + bonus + package
Are you an experienced procurement leader with a passion for driving change and building high-performing teams? A prestigious professional services firm is seeking a Senior Procurement Manager to join its expanding Procurement function and take a lead role in managing Facilities Management & Operations—the organisation’s largest and most strategic category.
About the Role
As a Senior Procurement Manager, you’ll be working alongside another senior leader and autonomously overseeing a team of category managers. This is not a “fix-it” job—it’s a rare opportunity to build on a well-functioning procurement team and take it into its next phase of excellence. You'll be pivotal in implementing a newly designed strategic procurement roadmap and influencing supplier relationships to drive innovation, service excellence, and ESG value.
Key Responsibilities
* Lead and develop a team of procurement professionals (c.3 Category Managers), fostering a coaching-led, collaborative culture.
* Own the end-to-end procurement process for FM & Operations, focusing on high-impact strategic initiatives.
* Partner closely with internal stakeholders to ensure alignment with the 2-year strategic procurement plan.
* Drive mutual value from supplier relationships by improving performance, enhancing ESG outcomes, and delivering service excellence.
* Support the build and rollout of new procurement processes and operational strategies.
* Champion on-time and in-full delivery across key procurement projects.
What We’re Looking For
* Proven experience leading and developing procurement teams—ideally in a matrixed or fast-paced environment.
* A strong track record in end-to-end procurement, preferably within FM & Operations or a similar complex category.
* Strategic mindset with the ability to influence and manage complex supplier negotiations.
* Exceptional stakeholder management and interpersonal skills—collaborative, empathetic, and able to challenge constructively.
* Passionate about driving continuous improvement, change, and innovation.
* Comfortable working in a mature, well-oiled team, with the confidence to lead the next wave of improvement and capability-building.
Why Join?
You’ll be part of a forward-thinking, values-driven organisation undergoing a strategic transformation of its procurement function. With strong senior sponsorship and a clear roadmap, this is a chance to make a lasting impact while growing your leadership and strategic influence.
