I currently have an exciting urgent requirement with a client looking for an experienced procurement professional to join their team working on a flagship project located near Northampton.

The role will involve leading a large-scale mobilisation project, working cross-functionally with multiple bodies to ensure the successful management of a large portfolio of suppliers and subcontractors. The successful individual will be responsible for sourcing new suppliers for niche requirements particularly relating to both soft and hard facilities services, alongside managing vendor compliance and commercial terms.

This position would initially be on a 12-month FTC basis, with the high potential to evolve into a permanent role in the future, to be extended, or to transfer to another project upon its completion.

The key criteria required for this procurement position are:

• Minimum 2 years procurement or contract management experience, with the proven ability to manage supplier relationships, influence stakeholders and manage commercial contracts
• Experience can be across any sector and category, however specific exposure to facilities, indirect services and Capex would be desirable.

• Full un-restricted right to work in the UK (This client does not sponsor)
