An exciting opportunity has arisen for an Indirect Procurement Buyer to join a fast paced, customer focused organisation within the hospitality and leisure sector.

Identify opportunities to consolidate suppliers and rationalise product ranges to drive efficiencies.
Prepare procurement reports and spend analysis to support strategic decision-making.
Contribute to value-add initiatives including EBITDA savings, cost avoidance, payment term improvements, and sustainability activity.
Ensure all activity aligns with internal brand standards, ethical sourcing practices, and regulatory requirements.

~ Strong communication skills with the ability to engage stakeholders up to Director level.
~ High commercial awareness, with strong analytical and organisational skills.

Why Apply?
This is a brilliant opportunity for an emerging procurement professional to gain exposure to high impact categories, work with senior stakeholders, and play a part in shaping procurement delivery across a major UK wide brand.
