Location: Hybrid working with 3 days in Hertfordshire HQ

Employment: Part Time / 4 day week

**This is the prorated salary**

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a commercially astute Strategic Sourcing Manager to join a leading player in the UK’s hospitality and leisure sector. This role will play a central part in shaping sourcing strategies and delivering tangible commercial outcomes across a broad and dynamic spend portfolio.

The Role

Reporting into the Procurement Leadership team, you will take ownership of high-value and strategically important sourcing initiatives, developing tailored strategies and overseeing the full go-to-market process from stakeholder engagement through to negotiation and contract award.

You'll work across multiple indirect spend areas (excluding a few specialist categories such as utilities and construction) and help drive innovation, quality, and commercial value.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead sourcing activity for Indirect spend over £250k or considered high risk/strategic.
• Work in partnership with senior stakeholders across the business to define needs and shape procurement strategies.
• Execute sourcing initiatives including RFPs, tenders, e-sourcing, and contract negotiations.
• Drive measurable cost savings and continuous improvement in service delivery and supplier performance.
• Develop and maintain a pipeline of procurement opportunities based on business priorities.
• Provide subject matter expertise and act as a trusted advisor to commercial and operational teams.
• Support wider procurement governance, reporting, and knowledge-sharing within the team.

About You

You’ll be a hands-on procurement expert with the ability to operate independently in a fast-paced, commercially driven environment. The ideal candidate will bring:

• Solid experience in indirect strategic sourcing or category management, ideally within hospitality, leisure, or retail.
• A strong grasp of procurement processes, commercial negotiation, and contract management.
• Excellent stakeholder management and influencing skills at senior levels.
• A proactive, delivery-focused approach with the ability to juggle competing priorities.
• Experience of working on complex, cross-functional sourcing projects.
• Knowledge of hospitality or park-based operations would be a distinct advantage.

Why Join?

This is a great opportunity to join a brand in growth mode, where procurement is recognised as a value driving function. You'll be part of a collaborative team with the freedom to make a real impact across the business
