If you're a sharp, commercially minded professional who wants to lead change and bring tangible results to life, this could be your next big step.

You'll have the opportunity to blend the best of both worlds, spending approximately two to three days per week in the office once settled in the role. This is flexible and depends on meeting cycles and board activity. We also offer an optional nine-day fortnight scheme, allowing you to compress your hours if it suits the role.

What you'll be doing

You'll be managing procurement from strategy to contract, applying innovation and compliance at every step. You'll be:

• Leading end-to end above threshold procurements across a wide range of categories via frameworks
