Your new company

Hays Procurement & Supply Chain are recruiting a Procurement Manager for an established organisation within the healthcare sector.

This is a broad, hands-on leadership role with responsibility for procurement, purchasing, inventory and stock management across a multi-site operation. You’ll lead an established team while working closely with senior stakeholders across the business.

Your new role

• Lead and develop the procurement and inventory team
• Manage day-to-day purchasing, stock and procurement operations
• Oversee procurement systems and purchase-to-pay processes
• Manage supplier relationships and support commercial negotiations
• Identify savings and operational improvement opportunities
• Maintain effective stock levels and continuity of supply
• Support procurement strategy, audit and financial controls

What you'll need to succeed

You’ll be an experienced procurement professional with strong leadership, commercial and stakeholder-management skills.

Healthcare experience would be advantageous but is not essential. Applications are welcomed from candidates from other complex or regulated sectors with strong procurement fundamentals.

CIPS or a relevant degree-level qualification is preferred, alongside previous experience leading a procurement or supply function.

What you'll get in return

• High-profile operational procurement leadership role
• Established team and broad procurement remit
• Genuine longer-term career progression opportunity
