Executive Heads have been retained by a leading media and entertainment group to appoint a Procurement Director.
  
This newly created role will report to the COO and be responsible for all procurement categories across the group and help to establish procurement as a value-added function in the organisation.
  
The newly appointed Procurement Director will be responsible for all direct and indirect procurement categories across the group in the UK and overseas operations in Europe. They will need to interrogate spend data, plan and execute a procurement strategy and provide a framework each site can utilise.
  
They will need to network with senior stakeholders across the group to demonstrate procurement capability so they are included in major bids and tenders early in the process and provide strategic business partner support. And start to build a small, expert team that adds value to the organisation.
  
We are looking for a self-starter with Gravitas who can demonstrate having built and grown a brownfield procurement function in the UK and overseas. Ideally someone from entertainment, hospitality, or retail type backgrounds who has managed a broad range of categories. Someone who can create, implement and drive strategy, influence senior stakeholders and build a small team.
  
The business is projected to grow over the next 12 months and there will be opportunities to drive capability and performance through all areas of the company.
