We’re looking for a high‐impact Procurement Manager to join our central procurement team. This is not a traditional procurement role. You’ll work across a wide range of categories (including materials, electronics, IT, services, and capital equipment) helping shape and modernize how procurement operates across the Group through influence rather than mandate.
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who thrives in a non‐hierarchical, collaborative, and decentralized environment, and is excited by the chance to drive innovation, automation, and AI adoption across procurement processes.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Strategic Sourcing: Lead and support sourcing initiatives across multiple direct and indirect categories, identifying opportunities for value creation, cost optimization, and supplier innovation.
- Category Development: Develop and enhance category strategies in partnership with OpCo’s, share insights, and strengthen supply resilience.
- Process Improvement: Identify and propose automation and AI‐driven tools (including Copilot) to improve speed, transparency, and efficiency in sourcing, contracting, and supplier management.
- Contract Management: Lead and support group‐level contract activities, ensuring measurable value delivery, strong governance, and enhanced supplier performance.
- Stakeholder Engagement: Build strong, trust‐driven relationships with OpCo’s to understand their needs and encourage voluntary adoption of central initiatives.
- Market Intelligence: Stay ahead of supply chain trends, commodity movements, risk factors, and innovation opportunities, sharing insights proactively.
What We’re Looking For
- Background in procurement, sourcing, category management, or commercial roles.
- Analytical mindset with a strong interest in process improvement, transformation and identifying novel solutions.
- Strong communication and influencing skills, with the ability to work effectively across autonomous businesses.
- Self‐starter who thrives in a fast‐moving, decentralized environment.
- A do-er; You must be willing to raise PO’s as well as build strategies, this job covers the whole range of Procurement activities.
- Experience with eProcurement systems, contract management tools, or automation/AI platforms is beneficial but not essential.
- Confidence engaging stakeholders at all levels, from buyers and engineers to senior leadership and MD’s/Presidents.
Why Join Us?
- Autonomy & Impact: Your ideas and initiatives can directly shape procurement maturity across the Group.
- Innovation‐Driven: Be part of a team that fully embraces technology, AI, and continuous improvement.
- Career Growth: Strong performance opens doors to senior and international roles across Halma.
- Global Reach: Work with diverse teams across Europe, the USA, and Asia Pacific.
