You will engage deeply with stakeholders across finance, legal, tech transformation teams as well as external suppliers. Your role will involve negotiating complex commercial agreements for SAAS and online services categories while ensuring robust supplier management through regular reviews. You will be instrumental in developing procurement strategies tailored to each category's needs conducting RFPs, evaluating vendors against clear frameworks, presenting contract recommendations transparently using established finance platforms. By partnering closely with sustainability experts within the organisation you'll help shape responsible sourcing approaches that contribute meaningfully towards climate change mitigation and circular economy goals. Support the Senior Sourcing Manager by delivering commercial support including risk management, supplier identification, planning and re-tenders across multiple divisions to ensure optimal commercial clauses are negotiated within agreements. Drive margin improvement, sales growth, and operational enhancements by managing expenditure primarily from UK and European businesses with potential expansion into global markets where leverage opportunities exist. Collaborate closely with divisional colleagues to collectively improve sourcing processes, commercial terms, supplier performance, and foster innovation within the technology category. Assist in building effective procurement strategies for each category by conducting activities such as RFPs, negotiations of commercial agreements, and ongoing vendor management to deliver continuous savings as well as performance and process improvement.

Your background should reflect an ability to manage complex procurement projects collaboratively while navigating ambiguity thoughtfully.

A degree in Supply Chain Management/Business (or related field) is preferred but not essential if offset by relevant experience. Above all else your enthusiasm for technology sourcing combined with a commitment to shared success sets you apart. Proven ability to take ownership of issues by proposing solutions that achieve deadlines or business goals while maintaining transparency throughout the process. Initiative-driven approach as a dependable self-starter who seeks out opportunities to deliver value collaboratively within teams. Influence skills that enable you to engage others positively driving change through gentle persuasion rather than forceful assertion and resolving challenges considerately.

Analytical mindset supported by proficiency in MS Office software; adept at using data insights to develop effective solutions addressing business needs while initiating margin improvement opportunities.

They are family owned and still maintain the family feel they have had over the last 15+ years I have known them, which is important, because not all do as they grow. I would highly recommend this business as a polished environment where individuals can grow and flourish, working on some of the best projects in London. About the Requirements / Responsibilities: You will be critical in supporting the Preconstruction & Delivery teams in producing, overseeing and monitoring the contract and construction programmes.

So, what does that mean for you? It means you won t be trusting your career to a rookie. I work with the vast majority of the groundwork & concrete frame businesses in the UK, and I can help not only introduce you but can give you up-to-date information on each of them, helping you make an informed decision so you can take your career forward. I ve been doing this for a fair while now, and I ve maintained a positive reputation because I tell people the truth. My job is to get you the options you want, give you the information you need, and then to let you decide what feels right for you. How to Apply: I am more than happy to discuss these opportunities with you over the phone or face-to-face in a fully confidential manner (you can get to know me while I get to know you).

They are family owned and still maintain the family feel they have had over the last 15+ years I have known them, which is important, because not all do as they grow. I would highly recommend this business as a polished environment where individuals can grow and flourish, working on some of the best projects in London. About the Requirements / Responsibilities: You will be critical in supporting the Preconstruction & Delivery teams in producing, overseeing and monitoring the contract and construction programmes. You will have competence in Asta Power Project (or similar planning software) and a well-developed ability to communicate technical issues clearly. You will have the ability to read, absorb and visualise information from drawings and text and convert this into a robust vision for construction. You will be a communicator who can motivate ancillary staff who produce 3D/4D models and cartoon sketches, so that our proposals are set before the client using visual aids as well as text. Constructive communication with Estimators is also important. Experience of a busy and fast moving Concrete Frame and Groundwork Specialists tendering office and the necessary ability to cope under pressure. Broad engineering knowledge knowing when something looks right. You will support the PM in briefings to proactively focus design (temporary and permanent), procurement, labour, plant and staff in order to secure programmed dates and milestones. Numerate and articulate. To fulfil this role, we would ideally hope for the candidate to have spent a proportion of his / her career on building sites as an engineer, project manager or similar, in the specialist field of reinforced concrete frame construction and groundworks, but this is not essential if strong planning experience can be shown in this field. About the Rewards / Benefits : If successful, you will receive a strong basic salary estimated at £70,000 to £90,000 per annum (based on level of experience) with a package to match. This is negotiable and is available on a self-employed or PAYE basis. About Me, Your Consultant: My name is Andrew Jackson and I am one of the founding directors of Cityscape Recruitment Ltd. I have over 20 years of experience in civil engineering & construction recruitment, during which time, I have specialised in the niche sectors of concrete frames, groundworks, basement construction, and demolition. So, what does that mean for you? It means you won t be trusting your career to a rookie. I work with the vast majority of the groundwork & concrete frame businesses in the UK, and I can help not only introduce you but can give you up-to-date information on each of them, helping you make an informed decision so you can take your career forward. I ve been doing this for a fair while now, and I ve maintained a positive reputation because I tell people the truth. My job is to get you the options you want, give you the information you need, and then to let you decide what feels right for you. How to Apply: I am more than happy to discuss these opportunities with you over the phone or face-to-face in a fully confidential manner (you can get to know me while I get to know you). And I know this is an incestuous sector, and I fully understand the importance of keeping things discrete. It would be ideal to see a copy of your CV to understand your previous experience and employment. In line with GDPR laws, nothing will be done with your CV/details until we have discussed the role in detail anyway, but having gained an understanding of your formal past, this may help when we come to discuss options.
