The Role

Reporting to the COO in a Senior Leadership position, this key role will set the Procurement and Facilities Management strategy for the organisation, covering Procurement, Contract and Supplier Management, Facilities & Estates Management and Procurement best practice.

You will need to delegate where appropriate while also being 'hands on' and involved in various procurement and contract activities, and responsibilities will include:

• Delivery of strong third-party outcomes across service, savings, sustainability, workplace experience and regulatory compliance
• Driving continuous improvement in policies, processes, training and controls
• Champion Procurement across the organisation and build a best-practice function
• Lead and mentor a high performing team
• Oversee supplier relationships, contracts and performance
• Support third-party compliance across key policy and regulatory areas
• Manage plans, budgets, audits, risk activity and incident response

The Person

You will need to bring significant experience in procurement, vendor management, purchasing and contracting, gained within a Financial Services environment.

CIPS membership or equivalent is desirable, and experience across project management and a proven track record of defining strategy, leading a team and developing roadmaps will all be key to success in the role.

In return my client offers hybrid working (2 or 3 days in the office) and the opportunity to work in a collaborative, progressive and supportive environment in a role where you can really make an impact.
