Head of Procurement | Newly Created Role | Investor-Backed Group
A growing, investor-backed group is creating a brand-new Head of Procurement role to build a procurement function from the ground up.
This is a commercially-led mandate, not a traditional cost-avoidance procurement role. You'll own significant supplier spend within a trading and distribution model, reporting directly to a Group CFO.
What you'll be doing:
- Building the procurement function from scratch — team, process, systems, supplier strategy
- Driving rebate recovery and margin protection across the supplier base
- Improving working capital and reducing proforma payment exposure
- Linking procurement performance directly to EBITDA
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What we're looking for:
- A procurement leader with genuine sector experience in a dealer, manufacturer, or distribution-led environment
- A track record of commercial impact — rebate negotiation, margin improvement, working capital gains — not just process or compliance-led procurement
- Comfort operating in a lean, investor-backed environment where you're building rather than inheriting
- Strategic credibility with senior stakeholders, balanced with hands-on delivery in a newly created function
