"Successful procurement isn't just about processes it s about people. Embedding the team within the business and strengthening stakeholder engagement is critical to driving alignment and long-term success both internally and externally As a business, we are in a key transition period, and we need someone who can navigate change with confidence. Our Head of Procurement will be responsible for managing risks, safeguarding stakeholder interests, and ensuring that we don t jeopardise our contracts or partnerships."

An ability to handle difficult conversations with executive maturity and gravitas. This will be a highly autonomous role, where the Head of Procurement will need to take ownership of the function s success and its integration within the business. High levels of resilience. On top of managing initial challenges, this individual s role will likely significantly change after the business s exit and change in governance. Proactive, confident communicator internally and externally. Working Arrangements & Location: The Head of Procurement will work out of the main Midlands office. There is a hybrid policy in place with a general rule of Together more often than apart ; therefore, the Head of Procurement can expect to be in the office 3 days a week on average.

The Head of Procurement will report directly into the Finance Director and will line-manage three Senior Category Managers. Each of those Senior Category Managers oversees a number of team members, bringing the total Procurement function to a headcount of 12. Consistent leadership and direction are needed in the Procurement function. While it has grown in recent years, they need to demonstrate value brought to the business. This will be achieved through reviewing and formalising KPIs and metrics, and building business-wide transparency on activity and pipeline. There is a high degree of autonomy within the role, and the responsibility of the whole function s success will lie with the Head of Procurement. The Finance Director has a breadth of experience in various business areas and can be a resource of counsel; however, they do not have the capacity to heavily dedicate their time to Procurement, and as such, the successful candidate will need to be ready to hit the ground running.

BACKGROUND Church of England Birmingham (CofEB) is on a journey of growing churches at the heart of every community . Through this we are seeing growth in many exciting ways. Financially we are at a challenging point. We have had an operational deficit for a number of years and this cannot continue. There are current conversations happening with the National Church around how we get to a sustainable platform through partnership. One key aspect of this is for us to increase our Common Fund returns (the giving from our parishes that supports the costs of our life together). We are taking a radical new approach to our finances which includes intentional reallocation of income to support the costs in our most economically deprived parishes and deeper relationships with each parish around finance through conversation rather than correspondence. Over the next five years we are hoping to be able to move to a financially sustainable platform which will enable us to better serve our communities in the future.
