Full job description

Location: Newbury + Hybrid
Salary: Excellent basic salary plus bonus and Vodafone benefits
Working Hours: Full time 37.5 hours per week – Monday to Friday

Hybrid

We believe that through collaboration and connection with our colleagues we can achieve great things. Our hybrid working approach allows our people to work both in the office and at home, providing the flexibility and resources you need to succeed in your role. We don't require you to be in on specific days; instead, we ask people to come into the office 2-3 days each week, for at least 8 days per month. You should work with your line manager to understand what their expectations are for you, your specific role and your team.

Who We Are

We’re here to build a network the UK can count on – one that connects people, places and potential. Because no matter where you live, what your background is, or how you get online – we think everyone deserves the same chance to stay connected, and with VodafoneThree, that future’s being built – today.

We’re creating more than the UK’s best network. We’re helping close the digital divide, empower communities and drive meaningful progress.

We believe that everyone should feel they belong. Whoever you are and whatever your story, there’s space for you here. We’re building a workplace where different perspectives are welcomed, voices are heard, and everyone feels safe to show up as themselves.

You’ll join a team that genuinely cares – about each other, about our customers, and about the future we’re building. From day one, you’ll be welcomed, valued and encouraged to bring your whole self to work.

Why VodafoneThree

Join us and you’ll be at the heart of change. That means building responsibly, investing sustainably and creating opportunities that last.

We’re not just expanding connectivity; we’re reimagining what a connected nation looks like. With £11bn invested in 5G and digital infrastructure, your work will directly power businesses, services, and communities across the country.

You’ll work on real challenges, with real impact, across every corner of the country. Wherever you join us, whatever your role, you’ll be helping to build a future that works better for everyone.

We move at pace, because what we’re building matters – and we’re learning as we go. We’re proud of the progress we’ve made, but we’re just getting started.

Join us at the heart of our business in Corporate, one of the central support functions that underpin our business and keep us moving forward. We provide centralised support, expertise and guidance across our UK and Group operations, continuing to build on our success and trailblazing the way to our next stage of digital growth.

This role leads strategic procurement across Energy and Media categories, driving commercial value, innovation and supplier performance through effective sourcing, category management and contract negotiations. Responsible for developing and executing category strategies, the role ensures that energy expenditure and media investments deliver maximum value, support business objectives and achieve strong commercial outcomes. Working closely with senior stakeholders, it provides market insight, commercial challenge and procurement expertise to inform decision-making, optimise supplier relationships and ensure robust governance, risk management and compliance across all procurement activities.

What you’ll do

Lead strategic procurement activity across VodafoneThree's Energy and Commercial Services categories, ensuring investments are aligned with business priorities and deliver maximum value.
Develop and execute forward-thinking category and sourcing strategies that anticipate future business needs, market developments and emerging opportunities.
Build and maintain category plans, identifying savings opportunities, efficiency improvements and innovation initiatives that support organisational goals.
Manage complex sourcing programmes and procurement projects from strategy through to contract award, using best-practice procurement methodologies.
Lead commercial and contractual negotiations with suppliers and agencies, securing strong partnerships while protecting VodafoneThree's commercial, operational and reputational interests.
Use market intelligence, supplier benchmarking and data-driven analysis to influence investment decisions, strengthen business cases and optimise commercial outcomes.
Partner closely with stakeholders across Procurement, Finance, Legal, Technology and other business functions to deliver compliant, value-focused procurement solutions.
Drive supplier performance, innovation and continuous improvement by developing effective supplier relationships and performance management frameworks.
Ensure all procurement activity complies with governance standards, regulatory requirements, sustainability commitments and responsible sourcing policies.
Contribute to VodafoneThree's transformation journey by championing commercial excellence, strategic thinking and best-in-class procurement practices.

Who you are

An experienced procurement professional with a strong track record in Energy, Marketing, Media and Commercial Services procurement, capable of managing complex category portfolios and delivering measurable business value.
A strategic thinker who understands how procurement supports wider business objectives, translating commercial priorities into effective sourcing and supplier strategies.
A commercially astute negotiator with experience leading high-value contract negotiations, balancing cost, quality, innovation and risk to achieve the best outcomes.
A trusted business partner who can build strong relationships with senior stakeholders, influence decision-making and provide constructive challenge where needed.
An insight-led professional who leverages data, market intelligence and benchmarking to identify opportunities, improve performance and support investment decisions.
A collaborative and adaptable individual who thrives in large, matrix organisations, working across multiple functions and navigating complex business environments.
A proactive problem solver with a focus on continuous improvement, governance, sustainability and delivering long-term value from supplier partnerships.

Worried that you don’t meet all the desired criteria exactly?
We know that everyone is unique, with multiple aspects to their identity and different experiences behind them. We are passionate about Inclusion for All and creating a workplace where everyone can thrive, whatever their personal or professional background. If you’re excited about this role but your experience doesn’t align exactly with every part of the job description, we encourage you to apply as you may be the right candidate for this role or another role, and our recruitment team can help you see how your skills fit in.

We believe that everyone has valuable contributions to make. As a Disability Confident Employer, we actively encourage individuals with disabilities to apply for positions within our team. Through the ‘Offer an Interview’ scheme, we aim to offer interviews to a fair and proportionate number of applicants with disabilities who best meet the essential criteria for our vacancies. If you would like to participate in the scheme, you will have the opportunity to indicate this on your application.

What we offer

We care about our people’s success by offering great pay, bonuses, up to 28 days off plus bank holidays, and paid time for charity work. You can personalise our benefits for you and your family, like discounts, vouchers, a pension plan and loads more. We help with your career through our amazing learning tools and top-notch parental leave policies.

Need to Know

We are regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and all offers of employment for this role are subject to background checks, including criminal (DBS) and financial checks to meet the regulators standards.

If you require any reasonable adjustments or have an accessibility request as part of your recruitment journey, for example, extended time or breaks in between online assessments, a sign language interpreter, or assistive technology, please refer to the Accessibility section of our Careers website (https://careers.vodafone.com/uk/reasonable-adjustments/) for guidance.

We use AI in different parts of our business to boost innovation, improve efficiency, and create new opportunities. We know many candidates use AI to fine-tune their CVs or prepare for interviews, but what we really care about is your unique experiences and achievements.

During the interview, we want you to rely on your own knowledge and skills to show us who you really are—your personality, creativity, and abilities. Above all, we’re looking for authenticity and can’t wait to get to know the real you.
