- Develop market intelligence, benchmarking and external insight to inform sourcing decisions
- Ensure compliance with internal policies, risk management and third‑party governance requirements
- Support the development of a Sourcing Community of Practice
- Manage third‑party supplier relationships where required, acting as the primary point of contact and owning governance, performance and risk
This is a varied role with exposure across multiple categories and the opportunity to broaden your experience across the full supplier lifecycle.
What we’re looking for
- Experience within a procurement, sourcing or supply chain function
- Strong sourcing and commercial negotiation skills
- Ability to operate flexibly across sourcing, supplier management and stakeholder engagement
- Excellent communication and relationship‑building capability
- Strong attention to detail and appreciation of risk and compliance in a regulated environment
- Experience managing supplier relationships with clear outcomes and value delivery
- Financial services experience is beneficial but not essential
Why apply?
- £50,000 – £60,000 salary plus bonus and comprehensive benefits
- Hybrid working with East Midlands office base
- Exposure to complex, regulated sourcing and supplier environments
- Strong development and progression opportunities
This role would suit an experienced sourcing or procurement professional looking to step into a broader, more strategic position within financial services.
