Be part of a once-in-a-career transformation

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Indirect Procurement Specialist to play a pivotal role in the integration of two global organisations and the creation of a new, centralised global procurement function.

This is more than a procurement role. It's a chance to influence strategy, shape processes, establish best practice, and leave a lasting legacy as part of a high-profile merger programme. You'll work across international teams, helping build a world-class procurement capability that delivers commercial value, manages risk, and supports ambitious growth plans.

The Opportunity

As an Indirect Procurement Specialist, you'll take ownership of a diverse portfolio of sourcing and category management activities while partnering with senior stakeholders across multiple business functions and regions.

You'll be instrumental in driving procurement maturity, consolidating supplier relationships, delivering savings, and embedding consistent procurement governance across a newly integrated global organisation.

This role offers a unique combination of hands-on delivery, stakeholder influence, and transformational change.

What You'll Be Doing

• Lead end-to-end sourcing activities across multiple indirect spend categories
• Develop and execute category strategies that deliver commercial value and operational efficiency
• Drive supplier rationalisation, cost optimisation, and procurement transformation initiatives
• Partner with senior stakeholders to shape sourcing strategies and procurement decisions
• Lead commercial negotiations and support complex contract discussions
• Ensure robust supplier governance, risk management, and compliance processes
• Champion sustainable and responsible procurement practices
• Identify opportunities to improve procurement processes, systems, and ways of working
• Help design and embed a centralised global procurement model during a significant integration programme

What We're Looking For

You are a commercially minded Indirect Procurement Specialist who thrives in fast-paced, evolving environments and enjoys building relationships across complex organisations.

You'll bring:

• Strong experience in indirect procurement and strategic sourcing
• Proven success managing multiple categories and procurement projects simultaneously
• Excellent commercial and contractual negotiation skills
• The ability to influence and challenge stakeholders at all levels
• Experience driving procurement best practice, governance, and process improvement
• A collaborative mindset with the confidence to operate independently
• Strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities

Experience within professional services, corporate environments, facilities management, workplace services, or other complex indirect procurement categories would be advantageous.

Why Join?

• Play a key role in a landmark global integration programme
• Help create and shape a new global procurement function from the ground up
• Gain exposure to senior international stakeholders and strategic decision-making
• Influence procurement strategy across a global organisation
• Join a collaborative, forward-thinking environment focused on innovation and continuous improvement
• Build a career-defining achievement while delivering meaningful business impact

Ready to help build something new?

If you're an experienced Indirect Procurement Specialist excited by transformation, enjoy influencing change, and want to play a leading role in establishing a best-in-class global procurement function, we'd love to hear from you.
