To enhance quality of life and longevity for all.

Role Summary


Normal Working Pattern:



  • Monday-to-Friday (0830-1700hrs)



Key Accountabilities & Commercial KPIs


You will be measured on your ability to strategically direct category expertise and deliver tangible commercial outcomes. Key accountabilities include:



  • Year-on-year cost reduction through strategic category leverage, without compromising quality or service levels.


Improvement in total cost of ownership (TCO) across all major category spend areas.


Contracted cost avoidance measured against inflation or market price movements.


Value creation beyond price (e.g., supplier-led innovation, process efficiency gains, or joint continuous improvement initiatives).


Supplier performance improvement measured through on-time delivery (OTIF), quality (PPM/defect rates), and service levels.


Risk mitigation (e.g., reduction in single-source dependency, improved supplier diversification, minimising excess stock, or successful contingency planning).


Internal stakeholder satisfaction with procurement's commercial contribution and service delivery.



What You'll Own


Strategic Category Direction & Commercial Leverage


You will lead the procurement function within our UK Centre of Excellence, with full responsibility for strategically directing category spend. You will identify, assess, and exploit the best commercial opportunities — from raw materials to indirect services — using market intelligence, demand analysis, and supplier economics to drive maximum operational and financial effectiveness.


Supplier Relationship & Performance Management


Working closely with the Board of Executives and the Parkacre Management Team, you will lead critical supplier negotiations and partnership frameworks. You will be the bridge between category strategy and commercial execution, ensuring that every supplier relationship is structured to deliver competitive advantage.


Culture of Zero Waste (Value-Driven Procurement)


You will be responsible for cultivating a procurement culture that relentlessly drives out all forms of waste — whether that's cost, time, or inefficiency. You will develop and maintain a highly organised, data-driven, and consistent approach to category planning, tendering, contracting, and performance review.


Best Practice & Service Excellence


You will champion wider improvement strategies across Parkacre that build upon best-in-class procurement practice. We need a smooth, agile supply chain that delights internal stakeholders and external customers alike. Consistency in process is not just a goal; it is the standard you will set.


Who you are


You are a seasoned procurement professional who understands that true value comes from strategically directing category expertise to seize commercial opportunities — not just running tenders.



  • A Change Agent: You don't shy away from complexity. You see the big picture and have the gravitas to influence at all levels, while having the detail-orientation to exploit category-specific market dynamics for commercial gain.


A Category & Commercial Strategist: You have a proven track record of strategically directing category expertise to leverage the best commercial opportunities — delivering sustainable cost savings, improved terms, and value beyond price. You don't just buy; you shape markets.


A Team Developer: You know that a high-performing procurement function is built by a motivated team. You are passionate about developing talent and fostering a culture of accountability, ethics, and commercial creativity.


A Strategic Partner: You understand that procurement excellence — powered by smart category direction — is the foundation of business growth. You are ready to play a pivotal role in delivering our 2026 business strategy and beyond.



When applicable, attend supplier exhibitions, industry events and trade fairs to identify sourcing opportunities, market developments and supplier innovations.


Contribute to the continuous improvement by identifying and taking ownership of opportunities for improvement to the processes you use, the services you will provide and the values you can add to our organisation.
