About the Opportunity

At Amentum, we support some of the UK's most important defence and national security programmes. We are looking for a Procurement Manager to join our team in Bristol and Theale, helping to deliver strategic procurement and supply chain solutions across a complex and high-profile portfolio. This role offers the opportunity to work closely with project teams, customers, and supply chain partners to ensure successful delivery of critical programmes. You will play a key role in developing procurement strategies, managing supplier relationships, and driving commercial value throughout the procurement lifecycle.

We welcome applications from individuals with a broad range of experiences and backgrounds who can demonstrate the skills and capabilities required for the role.

What You'll Do

  • Develop and implement procurement and supply chain strategies that support programme and business objectives while balancing cost, quality, risk, and delivery.
  • Manage procurement activities across the full lifecycle, including requirements definition, sourcing, tendering, evaluation, negotiation, contract award, and supplier mobilisation.
  • Lead the procurement of goods, services, subcontractors, and strategic supply chain partners to support successful project delivery.
  • Build strong relationships with internal stakeholders, customers, and suppliers to support collaborative ways of working.
  • Monitor and enhance supplier performance against agreed quality, cost, schedule, and operational objectives.
  • Provide commercial and procurement guidance to support effective decision-making across programmes and projects.
  • Contribute to the development of commercial strategies and contracting approaches that deliver long-term value and sustainable supplier partnerships.
  • Ensure procurement activities are conducted in line with company governance, contractual requirements, and industry best practice.
  • Identify opportunities to improve procurement processes, strengthen supply chain capability, and enhance operational performance.
  • Support the sharing of knowledge, lessons learned, and best practice across the wider procurement and project delivery community.

Here’s What You’ll Need

We understand that no candidate will meet every requirement. If your experience is relevant and you believe you can make a positive contribution, we encourage you to apply.

We're interested in hearing from candidates who can demonstrate:

  • Experience managing procurement and supply chain activities within complex projects, programmes, or operational environments.
  • Strong commercial awareness, including sourcing, supplier management, contract negotiation, and procurement best practice.
  • The ability to build effective relationships with customers, suppliers, and internal stakeholders at all levels.
  • Experience delivering value through supplier performance management, risk management, and continuous improvement initiatives.
  • Strong communication, influencing, and problem-solving skills, with the ability to make balanced commercial decisions.
  • Experience working within defence, aerospace, engineering, infrastructure, government, manufacturing, or other highly regulated environments.
  • Security Clearance, or the ability to obtain the required level of clearance.
  • A degree in a relevant discipline, equivalent professional experience, or professional membership such as CIPS, RICS, or similar.

Please be aware that some roles at Amentum require UK Security Clearance. All employees must successfully complete background checks and obtain BPSS clearance. Some roles also require a higher level of National Security Vetting.

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.
