We welcome your application to our Procurement Manager vacancy if you have the following qualifications and skills:

• Skilled in supplier sourcing, contract negotiation, building strong supplier relationships, and monitoring Service Level Agreements.

This will likely be 1 or 2 days a week in the office should you want hybrid, with full flexibility around the days that work best for you or opt in to work remotely with office visits as and when needed.

Our office is conveniently located opposite the racecourse entrance, and features a café on-site, free parking, and beautiful parkland surroundings.

In addition to a competitive salary, our benefits package (which will be on a pro-rata basis) includes:
