  • Develop and implement supplier strategies that enhance innovation, resilience, sustainability, and performance.
  • Identify opportunities for digitisation, automation, and process optimisation within procurement activities.
  • Manage procurement risk, supplier performance, and contract governance across the supply chain.
  • Lead, coach, and develop a high-performing procurement team, fostering a culture of collaboration, accountability, and continuous improvement.
  • Provide regular reporting on procurement performance, transformation activity, and value delivery to senior leadership.


Candidate Profile

  • Track record of building and leading high-performing procurement teams.
  • Strong commercial acumen and experience implementing category management and strategic sourcing methodologies.
  • Experience driving change, innovation, and continuous improvement across procurement functions.


Desirable Experience

  • Experience within technical services, energy, renewable energy, digital, technology, or project-based environments.
