Educate internal stakeholders on procurement policies and the value of strategic sourcing.
What We're Looking For:
5–10 years' experience in a central procurement or purchasing leadership role, ideally in industrial, construction, or engineering sectors.
Proven ability to implement procurement systems, negotiate contracts, and lead supplier consolidation initiatives.
Strong commercial and analytical mindset with a practical, hands-on approach.
Excellent communication and influencing skills across operational and senior leadership levels.
Based in or willing to relocate to Dublin or London, with flexibility to travel as needed.
