Head of Procurement & Supply Chain
The Opportunity
We are looking for a commercially driven and hands-on Head of Supply Chain & Procurement to take ownership of our end-to-end procurement and supply chain activity.
This is a key leadership role with the opportunity to make a significant commercial impact. You will take ownership of our supplier base, procurement strategy, commercial agreements and supply-chain performance, driving improvements across cost, quality, service and resilience.
We need someone who can think strategically but is equally comfortable getting into the detail. Whether negotiating supplier agreements, challenging pricing, identifying new sources of supply or managing commercial risk, you will play a key role in ensuring we have a competitive, resilient and high-performing supply chain.
What You’ll Be Doing
Lead procurement and supply-chain activity across the business.
Develop and implement sourcing and supplier strategies.
Negotiate supplier contracts, pricing and commercial terms.
Analyse spend and deliver measurable cost savings and value improvements.
Identify, evaluate and onboard new suppliers and alternative sources of supply.
Build strong supplier relationships while challenging performance and commercial competitiveness.
Manage supplier contracts, commitments, renewals and commercial risk.
Improve supplier performance across cost, quality, delivery and service.
Identify supply-chain risks and develop appropriate contingency strategies.
Improve procurement processes, controls, reporting and commercial visibility.
Drive continuous improvement across the end-to-end supply chain.
What We’re Looking For
You will be an experienced procurement and supply-chain professional with a strong commercial mindset and a track record of delivering tangible results.
Ideally, you will have:
Significant experience across procurement, strategic sourcing and supply-chain management.
Strong commercial and contract negotiation experience.
A track record of delivering cost savings and supplier improvements.
Experience sourcing, evaluating and onboarding new suppliers.
Strong analytical skills across spend, pricing and commercial data.
Experience managing supplier performance and supply-chain risk.
Excellent negotiation and stakeholder-management skills.
A proactive, hands-on approach with the confidence to challenge the status quo.
Why This Role?
This is not a role where you will simply oversee an established function. We are looking for someone who wants to take ownership, challenge how things are done and make a measurable difference.
You will have the opportunity to shape our procurement and supply-chain approach, strengthen our supplier base and deliver real commercial value to the business.
If you are commercially minded, enjoy getting into the detail and want the autonomy to drive meaningful change, we’d love to hear from you.
