Job Description
Procurement Manager
Location: Windsor, Leicester or nearby hub locations (hybrid - once a week onsite)
Contract Length: 6-Month Contract (possible extension)
Pay Rate: £650 per day (Umbrella) | Inside IR35
We are supporting a leading UK organisation in the search for an experienced Procurement Manager to join a large and well-established procurement function on an initial 6-month contract.
This is an excellent opportunity for proven procurement professionals who enjoy variety, autonomy and delivering value in complex business environments. Rather than supporting a single category, you'll work across a broad portfolio of direct and indirect spend areas, helping deliver critical procurement projects and commercial outcomes.
The Role
You will support a busy procurement team by leading and delivering sourcing activities across multiple business-critical projects. This is a hands-on role requiring someone who can quickly understand requirements, engage stakeholders, manage procurement processes and drive commercial outcomes.
Responsibilities will include:
Leading end-to-end sourcing and procurement activities.
Developing and executing go-to-market strategies.
Managing tender and competitive sourcing exercises.
Negotiating commercial agreements and contracts.
Partnering with stakeholders across multiple business functions.
Managing several procurement projects simultaneously.
Supporting category strategies, risk management and value delivery initiatives.
The role will provide exposure to a range of spend areas including supply chain, construction, technology, appliances, metering, marketing and other indirect categories.
About You
We're looking for someone who can quickly integrate into a complex organisation and start delivering from day one.
You will ideally have:
Significant procurement experience gained within complex commercial environments.
Strong experience across sourcing, tendering and contract negotiation.
A broad procurement background covering multiple categories rather than a single specialist area.
Experience managing direct and/or indirect spend categories.
Excellent stakeholder management and influencing skills.
The ability to work independently, navigate ambiguity and manage competing priorities.
Degree-level education or equivalent experience.
Desirable
MCIPS qualification.
Experience within large matrix organisations.
Exposure to supply chain, engineering, construction, technology or indirect procurement categories.
Please note: Due to the high volume of applications, only shortlisted candidates will be contacted. If you do not hear from us within 48 hours, your application has not been successful on this occasion. However, we may retain your details for future suitable opportunities.
