Senior Procurement Manager - Electricity/Renewables - #1790090

Senior Procurement Manager - Energy & Power

"High Profile Strategic Career Breakthrough Opportunity"

£Very Competitive + Bonus + Car Allowance + Blue Chip Benefits | Hybrid UK Role |

You've already made an impact in energy or fuels procurement. You're managing complex supplier relationships, maybe influencing hedging conversations. But your career feels stuck - no movement, too much red tape, and no real ownership.

If you're looking for your first step into a true strategic leadership role, this is it.

We're working with a global market leader in industrial materials and infrastructure, with a procurement function undergoing major strategic transformation. This role offers you the chance to take full commercial ownership of a £500m Energy & Power category, and to operate at the heart of the business - not the sidelines.

What You'll Do

In this role, you'll report directly to the UK Procurement Director, and work shoulder-to-shoulder with senior Finance, Operations, and Sustainability leaders. You'll have full scope and ownership over:

• Procurement of electricity, gas, bitumen, liquid & solid fuels
• Hedging strategies and market timing
• Supporting renewable and self-generation delivery (solar farms, battery storage, CPPAs)
• Leading supplier engagement and strategic contract negotiations
• Presenting market risk insights and recommendations to the MD and CFO
• Contributing to cross-border energy steering group

The business operates within a matrixed, non-hierarchical structure, so you'll gain exposure to regional and global stakeholders across Western Europe - and be encouraged to drive change, not just manage processes.

About You

You may be a Category Manager, Senior Buyer, or Procurement Lead working in:

• Energy, utilities, or power
• Chemical, industrial, construction, or manufacturing sectors
• A large, complex matrixed organisation with formal procurement structures

You'll bring:

• Deep interest or experience in energy, electricity or fuels procurement
• Strong commercial instincts and analytical mindset
• The confidence to step up and take ownership in a senior, visible role
• Passion for sustainability and supply resilience
• Ambition to grow into a European or global role within 3-5 years

What's On Offer

• £Very Competitive Salary
• Bonus
• Car allowance
• Full hybrid working policy
• A platform to elevate your career into strategic procurement leadership
