We’re partnering with a leading financial services organisation to recruit an experienced Sourcing Manager to join a high-performing Procurement team.

This is an excellent opportunity for a commercially focused procurement professional to lead strategic sourcing activity across IT/Technology and Indirect categories, delivering value, reducing risk, and supporting key business objectives.

The Opportunity

As a Sourcing Manager, you’ll lead end-to-end sourcing projects, working closely with stakeholders to identify efficiencies, drive commercial outcomes, and strengthen supplier relationships. You’ll play a key role in ensuring procurement activity aligns with regulatory requirements, third-party risk standards, and internal governance frameworks.

Key responsibilities include:

• Leading strategic sourcing and tender activities across IT and/or Indirect categories
• Delivering commercial value through supplier negotiations and market benchmarking
• Managing supplier onboarding, contract reviews, risk assessments, and performance issues
• Supporting contract governance and ensuring robust commercial controls
• Advising stakeholders on total cost of ownership (TCO) and supplier risk considerations

• Excellent negotiation, influencing, and stakeholder management skills
• Knowledge of supplier risk management and contract governance
• The ability to work at pace, manage multiple priorities, and deliver results in a complex environment

• Collaborative and supportive team environment
• Exposure to a broad range of stakeholders and strategic procurement initiatives
