Procurement Manager

Squarcle is a growing strategy, procurement and supply chain, operations and digital consultancy dedicated to driving business performance for our clients. We are people orientated and pride ourselves on our people-first culture. Unlike many consultancies, Squarcle is as equally dedicated to delivery as it is to design. The Procurement and Supply Chain Team is responsible for the provision of expert procurement and supply chain delivery & advisory capability to clients that operate typically across the public sector.

The team is made up of senior procurement and supply chain experts who deliver the client and internal Squarcle mandates. Working together but often independently, each team member will be expected to work on client site and remotely. Squarcle is committed to equality and diversity, and our aim is to build a diverse, dedicated, and high-performing team of consultants and subject matter experts to help our clients achieve procurement, supply chain and operational excellence.

At Squarcle Consulting, we help organisations navigate complex procurement and supply chain challenges by designing resilient operating models, improving commercial performance, and implementing sustainable transformation. We support clients across procurement strategy, category management, strategic sourcing, supplier relationship management, contract management, process optimisation and digital procurement initiatives, helping them maximise value, reduce risk and enhance operational efficiency.
