Senior Procurement Specialist
Technology | SaaS | PE Backed | Transformation
£50,000 + Benefits
Hybrid Working
We Do Group are partnering with a growing, PE-backed technology business to recruit a Senior Procurement Specialist into its Group Procurement function.
The business is continuing to grow, invest and evolve, creating a brilliant opportunity for someone who loves procurement but doesn’t want to sit in a slow, heavily layered environment.
You’ll have real ownership, real stakeholder exposure and the opportunity to influence how a PE-backed business buys technology and services.
The role is hands-on and broad, taking ownership of end-to-end sourcing across a significant portfolio of third-party spend.
Think Software. SaaS. Cloud. Hosting. IT Services. Professional Services.
You’ll work directly with senior spend owners, challenge requirements, take opportunities to market and lead commercial negotiations alongside Legal.
This is about much more than processing renewals.
They want someone commercially sharp who can look at a supplier relationship, understand the opportunity and ask:
Are we buying the right thing?
Are we paying the right price?
Could we negotiate this better?
And do we actually need it?
WHAT WILL YOU BE DOING?
WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
More importantly, they want someone with commercial curiosity.
Someone who enjoys negotiating.
Someone who can build relationships with stakeholders but isn’t afraid to challenge them.
Someone who can spot an opportunity to save money, improve terms or simplify a supplier landscape and then actually make it happen.
This is an opportunity to join a growing, PE-backed technology business where Procurement has visibility, influence and the opportunity to make a genuine impact.
