This is a senior-level opportunity to influence procurement strategy, support executive decision-making, and strengthen best practice across the organisation.

The Opportunity

This is not a transactional procurement role. You will act as the organisation's internal procurement expert - advising senior stakeholders, ensuring regulatory compliance, supporting tender processes, and helping drive a robust procurement culture aligned with EU and national requirements.

• Conducting spend analysis and presenting procurement reports to senior committees
• Advising managers on appropriate procurement mechanisms and regulatory requirements
• Reviewing and updating procurement procedures in line with EU Directives and Government guidance
• Supporting and reviewing Invitation to Tender (ITT) documentation
• Assisting with eTenders administration and publication of competitions
• Advising on evaluation criteria and participating on tender evaluation panels where appropriate
• Updating standard templates to reflect evolving OGP and OJEU requirements
• Coordinating the organisation's Contracts Register
• Delivering procurement training across the organisation
• Acting as a trusted advisor on procurement governance and compliance

Essential Experience & Qualifications

• Recognised qualification in Public Procurement
• Minimum 5 years' experience in public sector procurement
• Strong knowledge of EU procurement rules and public sector governance requirements
• Experience supporting or advising on competitive tender processes
• Proven ability to manage multiple priorities and tight regulatory deadlines
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills
• Full, current driving licence

Why Apply?

• Senior-level procurement exposure within a high-profile organisation
• Strategic and operational responsibility
• Direct engagement with executive and governance committees
• Competitive public sector salary scale
• Opportunity to strengthen your profile in public procurement leadership

If you are an experienced procurement specialist ready to take on a visible, high-responsibility role within a values-driven public organisation, we would welcome your application.
