About the Role
Not every procurement leadership role offers the chance to influence strategy, develop people, build strong supplier partnerships and genuinely shape the future of a global luxury brand.
This one does.
At Aston Martin, we're on an exciting journey. As we continue to evolve and grow, we're looking for a Senior Procurement Manager to join us on a 12-month fixed-term contract covering maternity leave. While the contract has a defined duration, the impact you can make during that time is significant.
This is a role for someone who enjoys being at the heart of the business. Someone who can think strategically while staying connected to the day-to-day realities of procurement. Someone who is naturally curious, enjoys solving complex challenges and gets real satisfaction from developing people and building strong relationships.
You'll lead a team of Buyers, Senior Buyers and Procurement Managers, providing direction, support and coaching while helping to create an environment where people can do their best work. You'll work closely with stakeholders across the business, influencing decisions, driving supplier performance and ensuring our procurement strategy continues to support Aston Martin's ambitious plans.
We're not looking for someone who simply follows the process. We're looking for a leader who can challenge constructively, bring fresh thinking and identify opportunities others may not see. You'll be comfortable navigating a fast-moving environment, balancing competing priorities and making decisions that deliver both short and long-term value.
