Senior Consultant; Procurement

Squarcle is a growing supply chain and performance excellence consultancy dedicated to driving the performance of our clients. We are people orientated and pride ourselves on our people's first culture. Unlike many consultancies, Squarcle is as equally dedicated to delivery as it is designed. The procurement capability is responsible for the provision of expert procurement and commercial advice to clients that function within the public sector.

The fast-growing team is made up of subject matter experts that work to an Account Director to deliver the client mandate. Working together but often independently, each consultant will be expected to work, onsite and remotely, with the client on complex and engagements. We enhance procurement performance through strategic sourcing, supplier optimisation, digital transformation, and data-driven decision-making. Squarcle is committed to equality and diversity, and our aim is to build a diverse, dedicated, and high-performing team of subject matter experts to help our clients achieve supply chain and operational excellence.

With your experience, you will contribute to business development efforts, be responsible for mentoring junior consultants, and support the success of the consulting practice.
