Are you a hands-on procurement leader ready to shake things up and make a real impact? Do you thrive in fast-paced, high-growth environments where autonomy, innovation, and transformation are not just buzzwords—but expectations?
We’re partnering with a forward-thinking, rapidly growing organisation based in Yorkshire to find a Director of Procurement who’s ready to lead from the front, challenge the status quo, and deliver real, measurable change.
With a large and complex supplier base and limited formalised procurement processes in place, the function is ripe for transformation. This is your blank canvas.
You’ll be given full autonomy to:
- Redesign & develop procurement strategies, processes and policies
- Drive aggressive cost savings & SRM strategies
- Implement automation and AI-led efficiencies
- Lead, upskill, and develop an existing team
- Create future leaders and succession plans
This is not a role for a strategist alone. You will be required to lead from the front and deliver transformation across multiple business areas, ideally in PE-backed or pre-exit environments.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Conduct a full review of current spend, contracts, and supplier relationships
- Build and implement robust procurement processes and governance
- Lead contract renegotiations—particularly in high-impact spend areas
- Introduce automation and AI to streamline manual processes
- Develop and mentor a high-performing procurement team
What you'll need to succeed
- Drive & Determination – You will be in a similar role or a procurement leadership / head of role ready for their next step up.
- Proven experience in high-growth, fast-paced, or PE-backed businesses
- Experience in delivering cost savings, automation improvements and team performance would be highly advantageous.
- Strong track record of cost savings, process transformation, and team development
- Comfortable with ambiguity and excited by the opportunity to build from scratch
- Industry background is flexible, but experience in construction is a plus.
- A cultural fit—someone who can drive change without disrupting the positive culture
What you'll get in return
- A competitive salary, dependent on experience
- Outstanding benefits package
- Hybrid working with flexibility
- A chance to shape the future of a business on the rise
- A platform to deliver, grow, and move on—internally or externally—with a legacy of success
