As Procurement Manager, you’ll take ownership of procurement across the business, driving efficiencies, maximising value from supplier partnerships, and helping shape the future of procurement strategy. You’ll also play a key role in embedding the benefits of the newly implemented ERP system, ensuring the business continues to lead the way in smart, data-driven decision making.

* Harness the power of the new ERP system to drive smarter procurement decisions, cost-saving initiatives, and process improvements.
* Source, evaluate, and negotiate with suppliers to optimise value, reduce risk, and enhance service.
* Manage supplier contracts and SLAs, ensuring performance through regular review and analysis.
* Support internal stakeholders with contract management, renewals, and value-for-money analysis.
* Provide leadership to the Procurement (and small Warehouse) team, setting KPIs, carrying out appraisals, and ensuring a culture of high performance.
* Build and maintain strong relationships with both internal stakeholders and external partners.
Skills, Knowledge & Behaviours:
* Strong commercial awareness and a strategic mindset.
* Excellent negotiation, problem-solving, and analytical skills.
* Confident in leveraging data and procurement systems (ERP experience highly beneficial).
* Strong leadership and people-development skills.
* Excellent communication and stakeholder management abilities.
Required Qualifications & Experience:
* Bachelor’s degree or equivalent.
* Industry-recognised qualification (e.g. CIPS / NVQ in Procurement).
* Minimum of 5 years’ procurement experience, with proven success in both operational and strategic procurement.
Why Apply?
This is a standout opportunity to join a business that invests in people, technology, and systems. You’ll be part of a collaborative, innovative team where your ideas will be valued and your career supported.
Alongside a competitive salary of £40,000 – £45,000, you’ll benefit from:
* Hybrid working (3 days office / 2 days home)
* 25 days holiday plus bank holidays
* Clear progression opportunities
* The chance to shape procurement in a forward-thinking, growing organisation.
