Head of Procurement or Senior Procurement Manager | £75K + package | Available for roles UK-wide from November 2025

This candidate is a seasoned procurement and commercial professional with 28 years of experience across a broad range of industries, including public sector, utilities, FM, aerospace, automotive, F1 motorsport, and legal services. Their background includes roles within globally recognised FTSE- and NYSE-listed organisations as well as mid-sized enterprises, operating at both strategic and operational levels. They have consistently delivered measurable results, including substantial cost savings and the successful delivery of complex, high-value procurement projects across Europe, North America, and Asia.

They have repeatedly demonstrated their ability to drive efficiencies and transformational change, whether by consolidating supplier bases, improving procurement compliance, or leading cross-functional initiatives. Notable achievements include £91m in contract savings at a major airline, £1m in savings through process optimisation in a government-funded innovation body, and a 30% reduction in a critical parts backlog for a defence sector client. The candidate is highly adept in stakeholder engagement, procurement strategy, contract negotiations, and supplier relationship management. Their recent experience has focused on interim roles supporting IT, infrastructure, and security procurement within the public sector, and they are now looking to transition into a permanent position where they can provide long-term strategic value.

I've personally represented this individual multiple times over the last 7 years and feedback from my clients has always been exceptional – I highly recommend them to any organisation looking for an experienced, competent and charismatic leader of their procurement function.
