Senior Procurement Manager, Southampton

An experienced Procurement professional with strong leadership skills is required for a growing procurement function.

If you're looking for a true leadership role this is an excellent opportunity to join a growing, branded business. I'm looking for an experienced Procurement professional to lead a team in ensuring that all of the procurement requirements for this complex, exciting and growing business are met. Your team will have budgetary responsibility for c.£120m across food, beverages and general goods and services, so not a role for the faint-hearted.
