Procurement Manager

Procurement Manager

£50,000 - £60,000 + Car Allowance

Ready to lead procurement for a growing business where your influence will be felt across an entire group of companies?

This is not a role where you'll simply process orders and manage suppliers. You'll take ownership of procurement strategy across the wider M&S Group, leading a procurement team, driving commercial performance, and ensuring the business gets the very best value, service, and partnerships from its supply chain. If you're from a Main Contractor background and want a position with genuine autonomy and visibility, this could be your next career move.

The Role

As Procurement Manager, you'll be responsible for leading and developing the procurement function while supporting multiple businesses across the group. You'll oversee tender processes, supplier negotiations, and strategic purchasing decisions, ensuring operational excellence and commercial value throughout.

Key responsibilities include:

Managing and developing the procurement team
Overseeing procurement activities across the wider M&S Group
Leading tendering and supplier selection processes
Building and maintaining strong supplier relationships
Negotiating contracts and securing best-value agreements
Ensuring suppliers deliver outstanding service, quality, and reliability
Driving continuous improvement across procurement processes and performance

About You

Proven procurement experience within a Main Contractor environment is essential
Strong technical understanding of procurement processes and supply chains
Experienced in managing supplier relationships and commercial negotiations
Confident leading teams and influencing stakeholders at all levels
A collaborative leader who will fit into a close-knit and ambitious culture
Additional industry experience is welcomed, but a Main Contractor background is a must
