£55,000 + benefits

We're partnering with a leading financial services organisation to recruit an experienced Sourcing Manager to join a high-performing Procurement team.

This is an excellent opportunity for a commercially focused procurement professional to lead strategic sourcing activity across IT/Technology and Indirect categories, delivering value, reducing risk, and supporting key business objectives.

As a Sourcing Manager, you'll lead end-to-end sourcing projects, working closely with stakeholders to identify efficiencies, drive commercial outcomes, and strengthen supplier relationships. You'll play a key role in ensuring procurement activity aligns with regulatory requirements, third-party risk standards, and internal governance frameworks.

Key responsibilities include:

• Leading strategic sourcing and tender activities across IT and/or Indirect categories
• Delivering commercial value through supplier negotiations and market benchmarking
• Managing supplier onboarding, contract reviews, risk assessments, and performance issues
• Supporting contract governance and ensuring robust commercial controls
• Advising stakeholders on total cost of ownership (TCO) and supplier risk considerations
• Building strong relationships across the business to influence decision-making and drive best practice procurement

We're keen to speak with procurement professionals who have:

• Experience as a Sourcing Manager, Procurement Manager, or Category Manager
• Strong strategic sourcing and category management expertise
• Experience across IT/Technology and/or Indirect spend categories
• Excellent negotiation, influencing, and stakeholder management skills
• Knowledge of supplier risk management and contract governance
• The ability to work at pace, manage multiple priorities, and deliver results in a complex environment
• A track record of delivering procurement savings and commercial benefits
• Experience within a regulated industry or financial services environment would be advantageous but is not essential.

• Hybrid working model
• Opportunity to work on high-value, business-critical sourcing projects
• Collaborative and supportive team environment
• Exposure to a broad range of stakeholders and strategic procurement initiatives

If you're a commercially astute procurement professional who thrives on negotiation, stakeholder engagement, and delivering value, we'd love to hear from you.
