Procurement Manager Lincolnshire, East of Lincoln Hybrid working£65,000 + 10% bonus Some procurement roles are about keeping the wheels turning.This one is about shaping how the wheels are built, bought, negotiated, and improved. Based in Lincolnshire, just east of Lincoln, this is a senior procurement leadership role within a well-established UK manufacturer operating at real scale. The business supplies complex, engineered products into infrastructure and construction environments, where supply continuity, cost control and long-term supplier relationships genuinely matter. Procurement here is not a back office function. It plays a central role in commercial performance and operational resilience. You will step into a role that owns both direct and indirect procurement for the site, reporting to the Finance Director and leading a small, capable team of two Buyers and a Procurement Administrator. The remit is broad, influential and highly visible. Strategy, negotiation, supplier performance, inventory, cash improvement and team development all sit squarely with you. What sets this role apart is the balance it offers. There is genuine space to think strategically, setting procurement direction, aligning with group policy, rolling out framework agreements and de-risking the supply chain. At the same time, you remain close to operations, seeing your decisions land and make a measurable difference. You will work alongside operational leaders, planning teams and group procurement colleagues to ensure supply capability keeps pace with demand. This role will suit someone who enjoys leading from the front. You will act as the senior commercial presence across key suppliers, taking ownership of negotiations, onboarding and long-term contractual relationships. Developing the procurement function is a core part of the brief, so coaching your team, building capability and creating succession will be central to your success. The environment is manufacturing-led, so technical understanding and credibility matter. You will be comfortable using data to drive decisions, whether that is savings delivery, cash conversion, stock optimisation or supplier performance. You will also have the confidence to challenge constructively, influence at senior level and continuously improve how things are done. Culturally, this is a business that backs its people. Leaders are trusted, supported and encouraged to bring ideas forward. Development is taken seriously, collaboration is valued, and pragmatic decision-making is the norm rather than the exception. You are likely to bring strong procurement leadership experience within a manufacturing or engineered environment, proven commercial negotiating capability, and a track record of delivering meaningful cost and cash improvements. A collaborative leadership style and professional procurement standards, including CIPS or equivalent, will stand you in good stead. In return, you will be offered a salary up to £65,000, a 10% bonus, hybrid working and the opportunity to take genuine ownership of procurement for a key UK operation. If you are looking for a role where your commercial judgement, leadership and ideas will be visible and valued, this is one worth a proper conversation.
