Procurement Manager
📍 Cheshire (Onsite 4 days - 1 day per week from home)
💰 £55,000 - £65,000 + Bonus + Excellent Benefits
Looking for a procurement role where you can genuinely make an impact? We're exclusively partnering with a growing manufacturing business that is entering an exciting new phase of growth and transformation. Backed by a larger international group, the company has ambitious plans and is investing heavily in its people, processes, and infrastructure.
As Procurement Manager, you'll step into a role with real autonomy, taking ownership of a critical spend area worth over £20m annually and helping shape the future of the procurement function.
This isn't a role where you'll simply maintain the status quo. It's an opportunity to influence strategy, challenge existing supplier relationships, improve processes, and become a trusted commercial partner to senior leadership.
What You'll Be Doing
- Leading procurement and supplier management across key spend categories.
- Managing and developing supplier relationships.
- Negotiating commercial agreements and identifying cost-saving opportunities.
- Reviewing established supply arrangements and driving continuous improvement.
- Improving procurement governance, reporting, and processes.
- Managing inventory, supply continuity, and purchasing decisions.
- Working closely with Operations, Finance, and senior stakeholders to support business performance.
- Helping build a more commercially focused and scalable procurement function.

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 solid understanding of commercial decision-making and P&L impact
- Experience within manufacturing, engineering, industrial, product-based, or fast-paced operational environments
- A proactive approach to process improvement and problem solving
- Confidence influencing stakeholders and challenging existing ways of working
- ERP/MRP systems experience
- CIPS qualifications are welcome but not essential
Why Join?
This role offers a rare blend of strategic responsibility and hands-on involvement, making it ideal for someone who wants visibility, autonomy, and the opportunity to leave a lasting mark on a growing business.
You'll be joining a supportive leadership team that values ideas, encourages improvement, and is committed to building a best-in-class procurement function.
