6 Month Contract | £600 per day | Inside IR35 | Hybrid | East Midlands
I'm currently working with a leading global engineering and manufacturing organisation based in Lincolnshire that is looking to appoint an experienced Senior Programme Procurement Manager on an interim basis for an initial 6-month contract.
The business is experiencing significant growth, with a rapidly expanding order book and increased production demand. As a result, they're looking for an experienced procurement programme professional to provide immediate support, ensuring the procurement function is aligned to meet production requirements while identifying and mitigating any risks that could impact delivery.
This is a highly visible role where you'll work across multiple functions, suppliers, and senior stakeholders to coordinate procurement activity, drive programme delivery, and ensure continuity of supply.
