To keep our operations performing at their best, we’re looking for a Sourcing Manager to lead end-to-end sourcing activity across our international MRO (maintenance, repairs, operating goods & services) categories, a critical set of supplies and services that keep our cinemas open, safe and guest-ready.
Reporting to the Director of International Procurement & Global MRO, you’ll play a key role in shaping sourcing strategy, managing supplier performance, improving processes and partnering closely with Operations and Facilities teams across multiple territories. You’ll help drive value, innovation and best-in-class procurement practices across our UK, Europe and Israel brands within the Regal Cineworld Group. Working across multiple territories, you'll lead high-value sourcing projects that influence decisions supporting 100+ cinemas and thousands of colleagues.

- Developing and owning multi-year sourcing strategies and project wave plans.
- Managing the full sourcing lifecycle: spend analysis, market assessment, RFx, negotiation, contracting and ongoing supplier management.
- Building trusted partnerships with senior stakeholders across multiple international markets.
- Developing supplier KPI’s, total cost of ownership (TCO) models and savings pipelines that align with business objectives.
