Job Title: Procurement Excellence Lead

Location: UK - London preferred (Hybrid)

Reports to: Group Head of Procurement

About the role

We are looking for a Procurement Excellence Lead to help shape how BSI's Group Procurement function operates as it continues its transformation.

Acting as a senior partner to the Group Head of Procurement, you will own the execution side of the procurement operating model - bringing consistency to ways of working, governance, digital enablement, templates, Supplier Relationship Management and the operational delivery of sustainable procurement and Scope 3 priorities.

This role is about making procurement easier to execute well: creating practical standards, tools and controls that are scalable, auditable and proportionate, while helping the function build confidence, capability and stronger day-to-day delivery.

Key Responsibilities

  • Own and continually improve end-to-end procurement ways of working across Source-to-Contract and Supplier Management.
  • Translate procurement policy and strategy into practical guidance, clear roles, decision points and minimum standards that teams can apply consistently.
  • Ensure procurement processes are proportionate to value and risk while supporting defensible decision-making, audit readiness and regulatory compliance.
  • Act as business owner for procurement enablement and tooling, shaping requirements and driving adoption of eSourcing, SRM, CLM and related digital solutions.
  • Own the procurement template and toolkit library, including RFx packs, pricing schedules, evaluation models, moderation packs and award documentation.
  • Drive consistent use of standard sourcing approaches and act as a centre of expertise for complex or high-risk procurement activity.
  • Lead the governance framework for Supplier Relationship Management, including supplier segmentation, governance cadence, scorecards and escalation pathways.
  • Lead the operational enablement of Procurement's Scope 3 strategy, embedding sustainability considerations into sourcing, supplier engagement and SRM.
  • Work closely with Sustainability, Finance, Risk, Legal, Internal Audit, IT and Transformation teams to align governance, data and control requirements.
  • Define and track management information that demonstrates adoption, quality and maturity across procurement ways of working.
  • Support the Group Head of Procurement with senior stakeholder, audit and governance materials and with the operational delivery of the procurement transformation roadmap.

What we're looking for

  • Extensive experience in procurement, procurement transformation or procurement operating model design.
  • Strong understanding of Source-to-Contract, procurement governance, supplier management and audit requirements.
  • Proven ability to design and embed standard ways of working, templates and toolkits at scale.
  • Experience supporting or leading procurement digital enablement, including eSourcing, SRM, CLM or comparable platforms.
  • Experience enabling sustainable procurement or Scope 3 objectives through procurement processes and supplier engagement.
  • Strong strategic thinking with the ability to translate strategy and policy into practical execution.
  • Excellent stakeholder management and influencing skills, with the credibility to operate at senior leadership level.
  • Clear communication skills and the ability to simplify complex requirements into usable guidance.
  • Relevant degree or equivalent professional experience.

Highly desirable

  • Experience building procurement capability or learning frameworks.
  • Experience operating in regulated, audit-focused or otherwise complex organisational environments.
  • Continuous improvement, change or transformation experience.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
