We're looking for an experienced Procurement Specialist who thrives on getting into the detail, asking the right questions, and uncovering opportunities to optimise spend and protect the bottom line.
What you’ll be doing:
This role is all about owning supplier relationships, diving deep into pricing and contract changes, and understanding what’s behind the numbers.

- Collaborate with internal teams to align catalogues and product master data in the ERP system
- Standardise procurement processes and identify cost-saving initiatives
- Oversee and develop supplier relationships, ensuring performance and accountability
- Lead contract renegotiations and help shape supplier strategy across categories
- Use data to inform smarter decisions, spot inefficiencies, and create value
About you:
You’ll be a confident communicator who’s comfortable talking to suppliers and stakeholders alike, with the experience to back yourself commercially. You’re not afraid to challenge the status quo, and you genuinely enjoy understanding the “why” behind the numbers.
We’re after someone who can bring:
- 4+ years proven commercial procurement experience
- A strong grasp of end-to-end procurement processes
- Experience working with ERP systems and product catalogue management
- Sharp analytical skills and a strategic mindset
- Confidence in supplier oversight, performance monitoring, and relationship management
- A proactive approach to driving value and continuous improvement
Why join:
You’ll be part of a high-performing team that values initiative, critical thinking, and collaboration. This is a chance to make a visible impact – not just by saving money, but by strengthening procurement processes and supplier relationships that support operations across the business.
