A well-regarded UK Bank is looking for a Procurement Manager to manage non-IT categories.
If you’re a procurement professional who thrives on making real business impact, not just running tenders, this is could be the opportunity for you.
Step into a role where your voice is heard, your ideas are acted on, and your work directly influences how a major financial services organisation partners with the outside world.
You’ll be joining a collaborative, people-focused team tasked with managing critical supplier relationships and embedding smart, risk-aware procurement processes across the business.
This isn’t box-ticking. It’s about building strategic partnerships, negotiating with major providers, and acting as a trusted advisor to stakeholders across the organisation.
Key Responsibilities:
- Lead procurement activity for both new and renewing third-party engagements
- Own and drive contract and commercial negotiations, often with Tier 1 suppliers
- Work closely with Legal, Finance and the business to align procurement activity with budget and risk controls
- Champion best practice supplier relationship management and issue resolution
- Identify value creation opportunities across key supplier relationships
- Support and coach colleagues as part of a supportive, high-performing procurement function
Key Skills & Experience:
- Proven track record in managing end-to-end procurement projects
- Skilled negotiator with experience handling high-value or complex contracts
- Able to engage, challenge and influence senior stakeholders
- Knowledge of indirect categories such as soft services, professional services or IT
- Familiarity with third-party risk frameworks and regulatory requirements in financial services
- CIPS-qualified or working towards it (desirable)
Key Benefits:
- Up to £60,000 salary
- Hybrid working with 3 days in the office and 2 from home
- Private medical cover, life assurance and discretionary bonus
- 25 days’ holiday with the option to buy more
- Career development in a respected, well-established financial services brand
- A values-led culture with real investment in procurement as a strategic business partner
