The Role: You'll be responsible for:

• Designing and implementing procurement and supply chain governance frameworks from the ground up.
• Defining end-to-end procurement and supplier management processes.
• Developing governance, controls and assurance mechanisms for a regulated defence environment.
• Producing key governance documentation including policies, process maps, RACI matrices and decision frameworks.
• Identifying governance, compliance and control gaps and recommending improvements.
• Engaging senior stakeholders to drive adoption of new ways of working.

What We're Looking For: We're interested in candidates who have:

• Strong experience in procurement governance, supply chain governance or commercial governance.
• A track record of designing governance frameworks and operating models rather than maintaining existing ones.
• Excellent process mapping and process improvement skills.
• Experience working within defence, government or another highly regulated environment.
• Confidence influencing senior stakeholders across commercial, procurement and delivery teams.
• The ability to work independently in an evolving, greenfield environment.
• CIPS or similar procurement qualifications are beneficial but not essential.
