You’ll lead the evolution of Supplier Relationship Management and ESG across a newly expanded, highly strategic supplier landscape
, ensuring sustainability, innovation and responsible growth are designed in from day one.

This is a role with real influenceb>

- shaping procurement strategy, setting ESG direction, and positioning the organisation as a customer of choice for its most strategic partners.

Key responsibilities include:

• Designing and embedding a best‑in‑class SRM model that drives performance, innovation, governance and ESG outcomes
• Creating and delivering a multi‑year ESG roadmap for Procurement, aligned to climate, social value and community impact
• Partnering with strategic suppliers to unlock innovation at scale during and beyond the M&A integration

• Confidence operating in regulated, matrix organisations with senior stakeholder exposure

• Shape the future supplier ecosystem of a major Financial Services player
• Enjoy the scale, visibility and backing to do work that genuinely matters

If you’re excited by complexity, motivated by purpose, and want your SRM and ESG expertise to leave a lasting legacy – we’d love to hear from you.
