Procurement Manager

A newly created Procurement Manager role working for this highly respected non-for-profit organisation based in Norfolk. Working as part of an established procurement team, this role will play a key part in helping the organisation achieve its objectives. There is a need to be in the office 2-3 days per week with an empowering and supportive culture in place.

This role will help manage a range of procurement categories from end to end. A key part of the role will be to work closely with a range of internal stakeholders providing advice and support to ensure compliance and buy-in to strategic procurement objectives. Additional areas of focus will include: reviewing current contracts to identify risks and cost-saving opportunities; guide stakeholders through the tendering process; undertake market analysis and supplier sourcing; play a key role in contract management, driving supplier relationships; and acting at all times as an ambassador for procurement.

To succeed in this role, experience in public sector procurement is preferred but not essential, with evidence of completing PA23 training highly advantageous but again not essential. With demonstrable experience of managing procurement activity from end to end across a range of categories, you will have strong communication and relationship-building skills. With CIPS study support and long-term career development opportunities available, this role offers a platform to harness skills gained to date and add tangible value to this organisation and the community it serves.
