At Babcock, we’re working to create a safe and secure world, together. If you join us, you can play your part as a Senior Procurement and Supply Chain Manager at Hawthorn, near Corsham, Wiltshire.

The Role

As a Subcontract Manager, you’ll help drive one of the most exciting areas of our Mission Systems business - ensuring our space and defence programmes have the right suppliers, contracts and commercial foundations to succeed.

Drive risk management and opportunity identification across the full supply lifecycle.
Develop and lead commercial strategies that ensure all supplier contracts align with prime contract requirements, legal standards, regulatory frameworks and trade controls.
Coach, inspire and develop a talented procurement team, elevating commercial capability across the function.
