About the role
Helios X is looking for a Group Procurement Manager to bring rigour and commerciality to how we manage supplier relationships across the business.
You'll run end-to-end procurement activity, from RFPs and negotiations through to contract management and supplier performance, working closely with teams across the Group to ensure every pound we spend is delivering real value.

- Review commercial terms within supplier contracts and maintain contract repository (incl. identification of unfavourable terms and risk clauses)
- Conduct supplier due diligence checks (financial health, ESG, sanctions screening)

- Periodic review of existing supplier relationships to identify savings opportunities and legacy contracts that were entered into without appropriate diligence (AI-enabled review of supplier value-for-money and redundancies/duplicative spend)
- Design procurement function work program to direct efforts towards opportunities with highest return on time invested
