Senior Procurement Manager

At Fora, we’re reimagining what the workplace can be.

We create inspiring, design-led spaces that blend hospitality, community, and wellbeing, so people can work productively, creatively, and happily.

From our first London workspace over 20 years ago, we’ve grown to 60+ locations across the UK, supporting 30,000+ members and partnering with trailblazing brands.

Backed by The Office Group, Blackstone, and Brockton Capital, we’re growing fast and pioneering conscious design, sustainable construction, and work spaces that empower people to work in their own unique way.

At Fora, we’re not just shaping workplaces, we’re shaping the future of work.

How we manage our supplier relationships and spend has a direct impact on Fora’s commercial performance. We’re looking for a Senior Procurement Manager to help strengthen procurement across the business, delivering sustainable cost efficiencies while maintaining the quality and standards our teams rely on.

This is more than a traditional sourcing role. You’ll combine commercial insight, market knowledge and strong negotiation skills to challenge spend, identify opportunities for better value and build supplier relationships that support the needs of the business.

Success will mean creating meaningful and sustainable savings, strengthening supplier performance and giving stakeholders greater visibility of costs, risks and opportunities. You’ll also help evolve our procurement processes, making them more efficient and better equipped to support the changing needs of the business.
