We are seeking a proactive and strategic Senior Procurement Manager to join our procurement leadership team. Reporting to the Head of Procurement, you will own end-to-end procurement processes, drive supplier performance, and partner with cross-functional teams to optimize value, risk, and efficiency across the organization. The Senior Procurement Manager will be responsible for sourcing, negotiating, and managing supplier relationships, while ensuring alignment with our business objectives and compliance requirements. You will play a key role in improving process flows, governance, and internal controls, and you will contribute to the development and execution of category strategies.
As a Senior Procurement Manager, you will:
- Lead end-to-end procurement activities for assigned categories, including RFXs, supplier selection, negotiations, and contract execution.
- Review, negotiate, and finalize supplier agreements to secure favorable commercial terms while ensuring compliance with internal policies and external regulations.

- Design, implement, and optimize procurement process flows and documentation to improve cycle times, accuracy, and governance.
- Manage contract repositories and maintain a centralized, searchable index of all active and historical contracts; ensure version control and easy retrieval.
- Produce forward-looking procurement reports and dashboards (e.g., spend analytics, supplier performance, pipeline of commitments) to support strategic decision-making.
- Identify opportunities for cost reduction, supplier consolidation, and value-added services without compromising quality or risk posture.
- Ensure compliance with internal controls, procurement policies, and regulatory requirements; support internal and external audits as needed.
- Develop strong supplier relationships, conduct supplier risk assessments, and monitor performance against agreed SLAs and KPIs.
- Mentor and coach junior procurement staff, fostering a culture of continuous improvement and procurement excellence.
