Location: Hybrid working and in Milton Keynes or Glasgow

We're partnering with a major UK Financial Services group on a critical hire.

This is not a run-of-the-mill L&D role - it's about shaping how a leading organisation engages its suppliers, develops its people, and delivers enterprise-wide value.


You will:

• Architect a stakeholder engagement strategy that boosts collaboration, performance, and market reputation.
• Design and launch a Cost and Procurement Academy to raise capability and leadership impact across the function.
• Own the Procurement Brand, across communications, Town Halls and supplier events.
• Turn supplier, stakeholder, and market insights into actionable strategies and measurable improvement.
• Lead the communications and change agenda that underpins a multi-year transformation programme.

We're looking for a strategic influencer who:

• Brings 6-8 years' experience in procurement, financial services, project delivery, or a mix of these.
• Can translate complexity into compelling narratives for senior leaders and supplier partners.
• Has the gravitas to challenge thinking and inspire change at every level.
