Procurement Lead, Marketing - Leading Financial Services Organisation
Glasgow or Edinburgh | Hybrid working £90,000 - £100,000 + car allowance + bonus
To apply, please contact Adam at a.venting@bramwith.com
A major financial services organisation is looking to appoint a senior Marketing Procurement professional to lead one of its most visible and commercially important areas of spend.
This is an opportunity to take ownership of a broad Marketing portfolio spanning media, creative agencies, digital, production, customer communications, sponsorship, and marketing technology.
You will work closely with senior Marketing leaders to shape how the organisation engages its agency and supplier landscape, bringing greater commercial rigour without restricting creativity, speed, or innovation.
The role requires someone who understands that Marketing Procurement is about far more than running tenders and negotiating rates. You will need to understand agency operating models, challenge briefs constructively, assess the true value delivered by suppliers, and influence stakeholders who expect Procurement to operate as a genuine commercial partner.
