The Procurement Manager will lead sourcing, negotiation, and contracting activities across IT, Marketing, and General Procurement categories, acting as a business partner to internal stakeholders. This role owns the end-to-end procurement activities — from market analysis and supplier selection through negotiation, contracting, and ongoing supplier relationship management — with the goal of delivering cost savings, managing risk, and ensuring reliable, high-quality suppliers to the business. The successful candidate will combine strong commercial and negotiation skills with the ability to build credibility and influence across a range of stakeholder groups. The ideal candidate is proactive and confident, working independently to align procurement workload with business objectives. What excites you: Sourcing Strategy - Develop and execute sourcing strategies for IT (hardware, software, cloud, managed services), Marketing (agencies, media, creative production, digital, events, market research), and general/indirect spend categories, aligned to business objectives. - Conduct spend analysis, market research, and supplier landscape assessments to identify sourcing opportunities, cost-saving initiatives, and risk areas. - Plan and lead competitive sourcing events (RFI/RFP/RFQ), tendering, and supplier evaluation and selection processes. - Build and maintain rolling category plans that reflect business demand, budget cycles, and market developments. Negotiation & Contracting - Lead commercial negotiations on pricing, terms, service levels, and contractual conditions to secure best value and minimise risk. - Partner with Legal to draft contracts and amendments, ensuring compliance with organisational policy and regulatory requirements. - Own contract renewal timelines, ensuring proactive re-negotiation ahead of expiry and avoiding lapses in critical supply. Stakeholder Management - Act as a primary procurement point of contact for IT, Marketing, and other business stakeholders, translating business requirements into effective sourcing strategies. - Partner with stakeholders to define demand, scope requirements, and align sourcing timelines with project and budget cycles. - Provide regular updates and reports to stakeholders and leadership. - Influence and educate stakeholders on procurement best practices, policy, and governance requirements. Supplier Relationship Management - Manage the end-to-end supplier lifecycle: onboarding, performance monitoring, risk management, and offboarding. - Establish and track supplier performance metrics (SLAs, KPIs) and lead regular business reviews with key suppliers. - Identify and resolve supplier performance issues, driving corrective action and continuous improvement plans. - Build strong, collaborative relationships with strategic suppliers to unlock innovation and long-term value. Governance, Risk & Reporting - Ensure all sourcing and contracting activity complies with procurement policy, financial controls, and legal/regulatory standards. - Maintain accurate records of contracts, spend, and savings within procurement systems. - Report on workload performance, savings delivery, and risk exposure to procurement leadership. - Support audits and due diligence related to supplier risk, data security, and compliance (particularly relevant for IT and data-related categories). What excites us: - 5+ years of procurement lifecycle experience, ideally with exposure to IT and Marketing categories. - Demonstrated experience leading end-to-end sourcing events and negotiating complex commercial contracts. - Strong understanding of IT categories (software licensing, cloud/SaaS, hardware, telecom) and/or Marketing categories (agency, media, digital, production). - Excellent stakeholder management and influencing skills, with the ability to engage confidently with senior leaders. - Strong analytical skills, with experience in spend analysis, market research, and savings tracking. - Solid understanding of contract law fundamentals and commercial terms (SLAs, KPIs, liability, IP, data protection clauses). - Proficiency with procurement/e-sourcing systems (e.g., Coupa, Netsuite, Omnea, Zip) and Microsoft Excel. - A can-do attitude and a curiosity to question, challenge, and improve working practices - Professional certification (e.g., CIPS, CPSM) preferred but not essential. We don’t expect you to meet every requirement. If you’re excited by this role, we encourage you to apply.
