Procurement Manager

Permanent role based in Slough, Berkshire, United Kingdom.

About the role

We are partnering with an established medical device manufacturer specialising in endoscopic, imaging, and integrated operating room solutions. Due to continued growth, we are seeking a Procurement Manager to join their team. This hands-on, onsite role within a growing, matrix-led organisation is responsible for UK procurement with scope to expand over the next 1-2 years.

You will oversee spend of around £20m-£30m, bringing structure, consistency, and commercial rigour to a function that is being centralised and strengthened. The role reports into the Head of Finance Europe and has no direct reports initially.

The Procurement Manager will take ownership of the full procurement cycle for UK indirect spend, ensuring goods and services are sourced competitively, contracts are managed effectively, and suppliers meet required standards. Working closely with Finance, Supply Chain, and senior stakeholders, the role will bring greater control, visibility, and governance to procurement activity across the business.

Initially, the focus will be on stabilising and tidying up UK procurement, centralising purchasing processes, supporting spend analysis, and improving supplier performance. Over time, the role is expected to grow, with opportunities to introduce improved workflows, automation, and continuous improvement initiatives.

• Source, evaluate, and negotiate with suppliers to secure best value, quality, and service across indirect goods and services.
• Centralise procurement activity, including contracts, quotations, renewals, and supplier negotiations, to improve governance and consistency.
• Analyse spend, monitor supplier performance, and prepare reporting to support finance, leadership, and procurement decision-making.
• Drive improvements in workflows, compliance, cost-effectiveness, and supplier performance, including the use of e-procurement tools where appropriate.

Requirements

• Proven procurement experience in a similar role.
• Degree in Supply Chain, Business, Procurement, or related field.
• CIPS qualification preferred; project management exposure desirable.
• Strong negotiation, analytical, and sourcing skills.
• Proficiency in SAP purchasing and Microsoft Office.
