Procurement Manager

Job Description

Find where you belong!

Are you passionate about delivering innovative procurement solutions at best value? Are you an experienced negotiator with a knack for managing multiple stakeholders? If you are a generalist Procurement Manager with experience across a range of categories, this could be the next role where you can elevate your career.

What's it all about?

It's an exciting time to join our Procurement team where our vision of driving long term sustainable value for Travelodge within our supply chain and making a tangible contribution to our company mission of providing affordable travel for all, remains at the heart of what we do. In this new role you will add instant value to our professional services offering.

You will be leading the end-to-end procurement process across our Customer Services category working closely with our stakeholders to develop strong relationships in order to deliver savings targets, whilst cultivating key supplier relationships and building trust, in order to optimise performance and delivery of our requirements now and in the future.

Why Travelodge?

We believe in creating an inclusive workplace where everyone can be their true self and belong. We work hard to improve the diversity of our teams and celebrate our differences. And we care about our colleagues' wellbeing, so we ensure there are plenty of resources available so everyone can look after their emotional, physical, financial and work wellbeing. We call this "Better Me".

Who will this appeal to?

You are a self-driven Procurement Manager who is tenacious in getting the details required to carry out a full procurement process. You are an experienced negotiator who is confident to challenge and able to plan out and time manage projects with stakeholders.

We're looking to add to our existing brilliant team of procurement experts with someone who can work at pace whilst constructively challenging existing norms in order to drive optimum value and quality whilst leveraging the strong internal and external relationships that they build. If you are looking to expand your current procurement experience into new category areas or further develop your existing generalist experience, then this role will offer you the breadth you are looking for.
