Job Description

You've spent a couple of years in procurement, in-house, or in consulting. You can run a spend analysis and hold your own in a category conversation. Now you want sharper work, more client exposure, and a clearer line to the people making the decisions.

You'll work on client engagements in our Procurement practice. You'll support senior colleagues, but you'll own real pieces of the work yourself, not just the spreadsheets behind them.

  • Full-time
  • From £45k + up to 10% discretionary annual performance related bonus
  • 25 days holiday
  • Health insurance
  • Death in service
HOW YOU'LL MAKE AN IMPACT
  • Support workstreams within procurement and supply chain engagements, category deep-dives, spend analysis, sourcing waves, supplier performance reviews
  • Analyse spend, contract, and supplier data to find savings, risks, and ways to improve
  • Build category insight, market dynamics, supply base, cost drivers, benchmark pricing, negotiation levers, and turn it into recommendations clients can act on
  • Write the reports and briefing papers that go to senior client stakeholders
  • Work alongside category managers, finance teams, and the business day to day
  • Contribute to our thought leadership, articles, posts, the occasional point of view piece
ABOUT YOU
  • Two years of business experience, some of it in UK consulting or a respected in-house procurement function
  • A strong procurement base, sourcing, category, or contract work
  • Sharp with data. Excel as a given. Python or SQL a plus
  • Comfortable adapting across sectors, spend categories, and levels of procurement maturity
STAND OUT EXPERTISE
  • A degree in STEM, Accountancy or Business
  • Proficiency in Data Analysis Tools (e.g., Excel, Python, SQL)
