Procurement Business Partner - £70K (Indirects)

Location: West London (2 days p/w in office)

This is an opportunity for ambitious, commercially driven procurement professionals who want more than just another sourcing role. You'll work alongside senior leaders on high-profile business initiatives, helping drive strategic decisions, commercial performance and long-term value creation across Marketing and Corporate Services.

If you want a role with visibility, influence, pace and genuine career acceleration, this is it.

What You'll Be Doing

You'll operate as a strategic business partner, helping shape commercial thinking across a fast-moving and evolving organisation.

You will:

• Partner with senior stakeholders to influence key commercial and strategic decisions
• Lead sourcing and transformation projects from strategy through to negotiation and delivery
• Build strong supplier relationships that unlock innovation, value and performance
• Use analytics, market insight and commercial thinking to solve complex business challenges
• Support digital and AI-enabled transformation initiatives across the business
• Help shape future-focused procurement strategies that deliver measurable impact
• Challenge conventional thinking and continuously improve how procurement operates

This role suits someone who combines strategic thinking with a hands-on mindset - equally comfortable in the boardroom or rolling up their sleeves to get things done.

Who We're Looking For

You're commercially sharp, ambitious and ready for your next step.

You likely have:

• 4+ years' experience in indirect procurement within a large or complex organisation
• A strong track record delivering sourcing, procurement or transformation projects
• Excellent stakeholder management and influencing skills
• Experience working across cross-functional teams and navigating complexity
• Strong analytical and problem-solving capability
• A proactive mindset with the confidence to challenge and improve
• A genuine interest in AI, automation and how emerging technologies will transform procurement
• The drive to build a high-impact career in a fast-paced environment

Experience in media, marketing or creative procurement is beneficial, but not essential.

Why This Role?

This is a chance to join a team with real momentum.

You'll gain:

• Exposure to senior leadership and high-profile business projects
• The opportunity to work on large-scale transformation initiatives
• Hands-on experience shaping the future application of AI within procurement
• Significant scope for growth, progression and career development
• A collaborative environment that values curiosity, ambition and fresh thinking

For the right person, this role offers a genuine upward trajectory.
