Procurement Manager

Ford Credit Europe is a regulated UK Bank, seeking a strongly skilled and experienced Procurement Manager (24 months Fixed Term Contract) to spearhead the organisation's Centralised Procurement operating model. This is a high-impact, strategic role, with the objective to strengthen FCE's oversight of third party suppliers and ensure that contractual, commercial, and regulatory obligations are consistently met. This role will be responsible for providing direction to FCE's soon to be onboarded outsourced procurement partner, while acting as the primary interface for internal business teams and executive leadership.

As we are early in our journey in developing a centralised model, the successful candidate will be responsible for bringing their expertise and helping prove the value of this relationship from day 1. You will ensure that the outsourced partner delivers exceptional value, drives cost efficiencies, and remains fully aligned with FCE's strategic objectives and compliant with regulatory requirements. This position requires a hands on procurement leader who is confident managing complex supplier relationships, leading negotiations alongside FCE's outsourced procurement partner, and embedding operational, commercial, and regulatory rigor in line with FCE's risk appetite throughout the supplier lifecycle.
