Every purchasing decision across Alzheimer's Society has the potential to deliver better value, stronger compliance, and ultimately more impact for people affected by dementia. As a Procurement Officer, you'll be one of a team of the operational experts who makes this happen. Supporting colleagues across the Society to navigate procurement with confidence, building the relationships that drive understanding, and using data to identify opportunities that protect resources and unlock savings. About the opportunity As Procurement Officer within our Finance & Assurance directorate, you'll be part of an agile, flexible team that's transforming how we deliver financial partnership across the organisation. We're on an ambitious journey to become the Society's single point of financial truth - trusted partners and credible experts who enable the organisation to make faster, better-informed decisions. This is where your procurement expertise meets meaningful impact, where your ability to engage colleagues and drive understanding directly enables us to focus on what matters most: transforming lives affected by dementia. In this role, you'll provide hands-on procurement support to colleagues across the Society, helping them navigate contracts, suppliers and purchasing decisions. You'll implement our procurement strategies at an operational level, ensuring contracts are delivered with quality and on time. Working collaboratively with Finance, Legal, Risk and Audit colleagues, you'll develop and manage contracts, maintain supplier relationships, and collect the financial data that helps us understand procurement performance. Crucially, you'll engage widely to build understanding of procurement policies, making compliance accessible rather than burdensome, and fostering a culture where best practice becomes the natural way of working. You may also have the chance to line manage a Procurement Assistant, developing their capabilities while role-modelling the high-challenge, high-support culture that drives our team's success. About you: You're an experienced procurement professional who understands that operational excellence comes from making procurement easy for colleagues to get right. You know how to balance rigorous processes with practical support, and you're skilled at engaging people at all levels to improve how procurement works. You're as comfortable analysing spend data as you are explaining contract requirements or building rapport with suppliers. You'll have: - Experience driving efficiencies and cost savings through supporting the design and implementation of procurement plans in large organisations. - A track record of improving understanding of and engagement with procurement across diverse audiences to boost compliance and effectiveness. - Experience of contract development, management and negotiation, with knowledge of the procurement landscape and relevant legislation. - Good relationship-building skills with experience working across multiple business areas and with colleagues at different levels, particularly those in financial roles. - Excellent communication and influencing abilities, able to engage effectively with internal colleagues and external suppliers alike. - Some experience working with finance systems and processes, or in a financial environment, with an interest in the dementia landscape and its procurement implications. What you'll focus on: - Implementing our procurement strategies operationally, ensuring quality contract delivery while building understanding and compliance across the Society. - Forming strong relationships with colleagues at all levels to provide expert procurement support that makes purchasing decisions clearer and easier. - Collecting and translating financial and procurement data into reports that demonstrate impact and spotlight opportunities for better value. - Managing supplier relationships and developing contracts that protect the Society's interests while collaborating across departments for appropriate oversight. - Building effective relationships with colleagues to improve value for money and/or drive efficiencies, particularly with colleagues in financial roles. - Taking personal ownership of monitoring your work's progress and impact, while supporting the team's efforts to track overall procurement performance. Can you see yourself as the procurement partner who turns policy into practice through effective relationship building and clear guidance? Are you ready to combine operational rigour with authentic engagement to drive both compliance and efficiency? Can you bring technical procurement knowledge and people skills to ensure every pound is spent wisely in our mission to end the devastation of dementia?
