Procurement Lead - Global Entertainment Business
£65,000 - £70,000 - London - Hybrid - c.2 days per week in the office
I am partnering with a global entertainment business looking for a Procurement Lead to manage complex, high-value procurement spend across its international operations. This opportunity would particularly suit someone from but not limited to a construction, infrastructure, engineering, rail or another complex high spend environment, who has personally developed sourcing strategies and negotiated contracts across large, complex spend. Previous entertainment industry experience is not essential.
You’ll manage a varied global services portfolio, with potential categories including logistics and freight, power, branding, technology and broadcasting, marketing, travel, security and medical provision, providing plenty of variety and international stakeholder exposure.
