Overview:

Home. There's no place like it. And there's no feeling like helping people create the joy of feeling truly at home. At Dunelm, that's what we do. We're the UK's number one choice for homewares because we make home life lovelier for our customers. And the caring and supportive culture we've created makes this a place you'll feel right at home too.


We are the UK's Number One homewares retailer offering over 70,000 products building a consumer-focused total retail business that delights customers through our multichannel operation.


We are ambitious in our plans to drive further expansion of the business to more customers, shopping more frequently, with more choice, enhanced digital and physical services, and new capabilities to innovate and operate at pace in a fast-changing landscape.

In developing the business for the long-term benefit of our customers, we are investing in our supply chain, stores and technology to improve the customer proposition as we move forward.


Department Overview


The Dunelm Procurement team is dedicated to the delivery of sustainable value from Dunelm Non-Stock relationships in support of the wider company objectives.

They are a thriving and diverse team using their expert knowledge to innovate and protect, while offering agile and proportionate support.


The team are responsible for >£300m of non-stock spend, with the largest areas of spend being supply chain, technology, marketing, store development and maintenance.


The team sits within the Chief Finance Officer (CFO) function and plays a critical role supporting the delivery of high-value projects and operations across the business.

The Procurement Senior Buyer will act independently supporting Senior Procurement Managers and the Head of Non-Stock Procurement & Cost Grip deploying the indirect procurement strategy across Dunelm's business functions.

You are exceptionally driven and focused, and can provide sound advice to Business Functions through a blend of "purpose" (staying true to the team Purpose which may be refreshed from time to time), "mastery" (your capabilities and that of any direct reports), and autonomy (using "mastery" to increase efficiency in a safe way).


The role holder will also ensure compliance with all aspects of relevant Dunelm Policies, ensuring that Dunelm maintain their strong credentials on Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) and Compliance & Social Responsibility (CSR), modern slavery and corporate tax evasion.

  • Challenge the 'status quo' where doing so is valuable, providing credible sourcing alternatives through value engineering or market intelligence.
  • Drive value by planning and conducting effective commercial & contractual negotiations.
  • Review, negotiate and draft contractual terms with suppliers, with the support of the Legal team, to ensure that any potential risks are identified, minimised or highlighted to senior internal stakeholders.
