Lead competitive sourcing processes including RFIs, RFPs, and contract negotiations.
Manage key supplier relationships, conducting performance reviews and driving continuous improvement.
Collaborate with internal stakeholders to understand requirements and build buy-in for procurement decisions.
Track and report on savings delivery, contract compliance, and supplier KPIs.

What We're Looking For

3–5 years of experience in procurement, category management, or strategic sourcing.
Experience running end-to-end sourcing processes and commercial negotiations.
Strong stakeholder management, comfortable engaging with senior internal clients and supplier leadership.
Analytical, with the ability to build cost models and conduct spend analysis.
CIPS qualified or working towards is desirable.

Compensation & Benefits

Base salary of £50,000 – £65,000, depending on experience.
Annual performance bonus.
25 days holiday and hybrid working from London.
Pension, private health, and staff discount.
