Procurement Manager in Esher, Surrey

Are you a strategic thinker with a passion for ethical procurement and commercial excellence? We’re looking for a Procurement Manager to lead and evolve our global procurement function — ensuring value, compliance, and sustainability across our operations. This is a unique opportunity to shape procurement strategy in a complex, international organisation. You’ll work at both strategic and operational levels, driving innovation, managing supplier relationships, and embedding best practices that support our commercial and ESG goals.

As Procurement Manager, you’ll be responsible for developing and delivering a procurement framework that supports our global operations. You’ll lead high-value sourcing projects, manage key supplier categories, and ensure procurement activities align with legal, regulatory, and ethical standards.
