Lead and develop a team of circa 20+ procurement and supplier specialists, building a high-performance culture
Contribute at SLT level to strategic planning, governance, processes and continuous improvement
Support the launch and long-term growth of a developing brand area within Procurement Services
Build strong relationships with public sector customers and senior stakeholders to enhance service delivery

What we’re looking for

A commercially minded procurement leader with strong strategic thinking capability
Significant experience in public sector procurement and regulatory compliance (PA23 & PCR2015)
Proven track record delivering complex procurements, frameworks and commercial outcomes
Strong supplier partnership expertise, with experience maximising value across large supplier portfolios
Demonstrable financial acumen, including P&L responsibility and delivering against commercial targets
Experience leading and developing large, multi-disciplinary teams in a senior leadership capacity
Excellent stakeholder engagement and influencing skills at senior level
MCIPS or equivalent professional qualification
