Are you a Buyer ready for your next step, or a Lead Buyer looking for something bigger and more international?

* Flexibility that works - hybrid working (2-3 days on site) and supportive flexible arrangements

You'll join a high-performing Digital Services Procurement team that owns all IT and software spend across the organisation, including:

* Enterprise & Engineering Software
* SaaS
* Cyber
* Cloud
* Networks & Telecoms
* Hardware
* AI
* Outsourced Services

Working closely with internal stakeholders, you'll:

* Lead procurement competitions in the UK and internationally
* Develop and manage a procurement pipeline
* Build strong, long-term supplier relationships
* Deliver commercially sound, value-driven outcomes

Whether you already have Digital procurement experience or come from an Indirect Procurement background and want to move into Digital, this role gives you the platform to grow.


What's in it for you?

* Salary: £45,000 - £55,000 DOE
* Bonus: Up to £2,500
* Pension: Up to 14% total contribution
* Paid overtime
* Flexi leave: Up to 15 additional days
* Enhanced parental leave

* Confident stakeholder management and sourcing capability
* Appetite to work in a fast-moving, international environment
* MCIPS qualified or working towards MCIPS (desirable)
* MUST hold at least a British passport due to specific security clearance requirements for ongoing projects (can be a dual national)

There are very few procurement roles that combine international scope, genuine flexibility and long-term career progression in the way this one does.

To apply for this Buyer, Senior Buyer, Lead Buyer candidate must be eligible to work in the UK and able to gain security clearance (SC level).
