We are seeking a Head of Procurement to build on recent progress and firmly establish a high performing, commercially focused procurement function. Following a successful period of interim leadership, this role provides the opportunity to embed stability, strengthen governance, and elevate maturity across a high volume, fast paced operational environment.
Reporting to the Finance Director, the Head of Procurement will act as a trusted strategic partner, balancing pace and prioritisation with robust control, compliance, and risk management. The role will introduce more streamlined, commercially astute ways of working, ensuring procurement enables, rather than constrains, the business.
This role will suit a confident, hands on procurement leader who thrives on embedding improvement, leading capable teams, and driving tangible commercial impact within a nationally significant business.
Key Deliverables within the first 12 months include:
- Stabilise, embed, and further develop the Procurement team, building on recent progress to grow capability, create clarity of purpose, and instil confidence through clear leadership, direction, and accountability.
- Strengthen procurement processes and ways of working, improving governance, pace, and effectiveness while introducing more streamlined, commercially astute approaches that enable the business to better leverage opportunity.
- Act as a trusted strategic partner to the Finance Director, operating as a key "right hand" advisor with responsibility for managing procurement related risk, ensuring appropriate controls, and supporting sound decision making across the business.
