Procurement Business Manager

This is a varied role at the heart of procurement governance, assurance and business management. Working across multiple NHS organisations, you will help coordinate governance and assurance activity, support the development and management of policies and procedures, monitor compliance requirements, and work closely with colleagues on contractual, supplier and procurement-related matters.

We are particularly interested in candidates who bring strong analytical, legal, commercial or governance awareness. You may come from a legal, paralegal, contract management, procurement, compliance, audit or governance background. A legal qualification is not essential, but you should be comfortable interpreting guidance, legislation, policies and contractual documentation, identifying risks and issues, asking the right questions, and supporting proportionate and well-evidenced decision-making. You will work guided by precedent and clearly defined procedures. Works without supervision however can seek advice from Line Manager when required.
