Job Description:
We are currently working with a highly respected boutique procurement consultancy to recruit an IT Procurement Consultant specialising in networks and telecommunications.
This is a client-side consulting role — not working for a large telco provider — ideal for someone with deep category knowledge who enjoys variety, stakeholder engagement, and delivering real value across multiple projects.
The Role
Working as part of a small, agile team of procurement specialists, you will:
* Lead sourcing and procurement projects across network infrastructure, WAN/LAN, unified comms, connectivity, and other telco-related services
* Develop and implement category strategies that deliver measurable savings and innovation
* Negotiate and manage supplier contracts, ensuring best-in-market commercial terms
* Advise clients on market trends, emerging technologies, and supplier capabilities
* Manage stakeholder relationships up to senior leadership level
* Ensure projects are delivered on time, within budget, and to a high professional standard
About You
* Proven experience in networks / telco procurement from the client side or consultancy side (not working for the telcos)
* Strong commercial acumen and negotiation skills
* Ability to work independently in a fast-paced, project-based environment
* Excellent stakeholder engagement skills, comfortable operating with senior executives
* Strong understanding of procurement processes, governance, and best practice
Why This Role Stands Out
* Work with a niche consultancy known for its expertise and hands-on approach
* High-impact projects with UK and global clients
* Flexible, collaborative working culture without corporate bureaucracy
* Competitive package with scope for career growth
If you have networks/telco category expertise and want to apply your skills in a consultancy environment where your work makes a direct impact, we’d love to hear from you.
