Procurement Strategist

Lead Procurement Manager in our easyJet team to architect and deliver a Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) strategy from scratch. As the TPRM Lead, you'll be responsible for developing models, templates, and processes to guide the business from a risk-focused perspective.

With increasing legislative impact on third-party management, Supplier Managers will ensure their vendors are compliant, and you'll provide necessary training and support. You will build the entire TPRM programme from the ground up, implementing it across easyJet and working with key stakeholders such as Audit, Legal, and Sustainability.

In this fast-paced environment, no two days are the same—you'll engage with all areas of the business, from creating a centralised system to oversee third-party risks, to rolling out the tools and technology needed to monitor, report, and mitigate those risks.

This role offers the chance to lead the development of a strategy that ensures easyJet stays ahead of regulatory changes, while supporting Supplier Managers in understanding and managing risks effectively.

You will work closely with the supplier management community and other stakeholders across the business, leveraging TPRM technology and guiding teams to implement the framework effectively.
