The posting

Advert Close date: 19th November 2026

At The Crown Estate, our purpose is to create lasting and shared prosperity for the nation. We manage land, property and the seabed across England, Wales and Northern Ireland, and procurement helps make that happen. We're looking for a Strategic Procurement Manager to help us treat procurement as a catalyst for value, innovation and sustainable growth.

This is an influential role. You'll shape our procurement roadmap, get involved early to influence demand, and design competitive procedures that fit each requirement. You'll be a trusted commercial partner to senior stakeholders, challenging assumptions and showing the business what the market can deliver. You'll also help set the standard for commercial excellence across the organisation.

What you'll be doing:

  • Owning our Enterprise Pipeline and building a multi-year view of demand, so we spot opportunities before they arise
  • Partnering with stakeholders early to shape requirements, and coaching them through governance
  • Designing tailored sourcing strategies and evaluation criteria that are compliant, commercially sound and built to deliver value
  • Using market insight and supplier engagement to bring innovation, better quality and lower cost
  • Leading relationships with allocated strategic suppliers under our new tiered SRM framework, and managing supply chain risk
  • Embedding sustainability and social value into contracts so they're delivered in practice
  • Using spend analysis to track and report the value procurement delivers
  • Mentoring colleagues and leading change, so our new SRM and contract management frameworks take hold across the business

What we're looking for

  • Substantial hands-on experience of delivering complex, end-to-end procurement in a public sector or regulated environment
  • Expertise in UK Public Procurement Regulations and best-practice commercial standards
  • Strong analytical and strategic thinking, turning data and market insight into practical strategies
  • The confidence to influence, challenge and partner with senior stakeholders
  • A track record of developing and mentoring others
  • Exposure to a supplier relationship management programme is an advantage
  • MCIPS is desirable

Why join us

You'll work with a group of experts on a portfolio unlike any other, from central London's best places to work and shop to the Windsor Estate and the UK's offshore wind sector.

As well as a competitive salary, pension and performance related bonus offering, we have a wealth of benefits available ranging from flexible working; market leading family policies and shopping discounts in the West End, to private healthcare; life and critical illness cover and 28 days holiday with the option to buy more. We value work life balance and your wellbeing highly, enabling you to be your best self to work.

If you would like to know more, we invite you to an information webinar hosted by the hiring manager and Director of Procurement & SRM, Dr. Beverley Jandziol. This will take place on Wednesday 11th November at 2.30pm. Please join using the link below:

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.
