Senior Procurement Manager – Corporate & Professional Services
£90,000–£100,000 + Car Allowance + Bonus

To apply, contact Adam at a.venting@bramwith.com
A major organisation is investing heavily in its procurement capability and is looking for a high-calibre Senior Procurement Manager to join a function that wants to do far more than simply source and negotiate.
This is an opportunity to join a procurement team with genuine ambition: one that wants to influence the wider business, challenge established thinking and become a stronger driver of commercial, operational and transformational change.
You will take ownership of a broad and strategically important portfolio covering areas such as Professional Services, Consulting, Legal, People & HR, Property, Corporate Centres, Operations, Cash and Payments, with exposure to some of the organisation’s most important business initiatives.
The category scope is intentionally broad. What matters more is your ability to think commercially, build credibility quickly and identify opportunities that others may not immediately see.
Why this role is different
This is not a procurement environment built around hierarchy or simply following established processes.
The leadership team wants people who are confident enough to challenge, contribute ideas and take ownership. You will be given the space to operate, express your views and help shape both category strategy and the wider direction of procurement.
The organisation is looking for people with energy, curiosity and a genuine spark — individuals who can engage senior stakeholders, understand what the business is trying to achieve and then find smarter ways of getting there.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
You will be encouraged to think beyond traditional procurement metrics, considering areas such as transformation, supplier innovation, sustainability, corporate responsibility, operational improvement and long-term business value.
Role responsibilities will include:
- Own major procurement and category strategies across a broad portfolio of corporate and professional services spend
- Work directly with senior business leaders to understand their priorities and influence decisions at an early stage
- Challenge established requirements and identify new commercial opportunities rather than simply responding to sourcing requests
- Lead complex negotiations, strategic sourcing programmes and supplier restructures
- Identify opportunities to transform how services are bought, delivered and managed
- Improve supplier performance and create stronger strategic relationships with key partners
- Bring new ideas around demand management, innovation, sustainability and corporate responsibility
- Support major business change and transformation programmes
- Help procurement become a more influential and commercially embedded partner across the organisation
- Contribute ideas and challenge the status quo within a collaborative, low-hierarchy procurement leadership team
The client is seeking:
Someone with strong procurement foundations, but personality, potential and commercial instinct are equally important.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
You could currently be operating as a Senior Category Manager, Senior Procurement Manager, Category Lead or Procurement Lead.
You will ideally bring:
- Strong strategic procurement experience across indirect or corporate categories
- Experience within areas such as Professional Services, Consulting, Legal, HR, Property, Corporate Services, Operations or Technology
- The ability to influence senior stakeholders and build relationships across a complex organisation
- Evidence of creating change rather than simply executing established procurement processes
- Strong commercial judgement and the confidence to challenge the business constructively
- A track record of identifying opportunities and taking initiative without needing everything prescribed
- An interest in wider themes such as transformation, innovation, ESG or corporate responsibility
- The energy and ambition to help develop a procurement function rather than simply operate within one
Experience within financial services or another regulated environment would be useful, but this is not about finding someone from an identical organisation. The priority is finding commercially strong procurement professionals with the potential and personality to make an impact.
For someone who wants autonomy, visibility and the opportunity to influence how procurement works at a senior level, this is a genuinely interesting move.
