The goal is to ensure the needs of business travellers are met whilst also considering how to develop Environmental, Social and Governance commitments.

What they're looking for
The appointed candidate will have a demonstrable track record of commercial delivery, success, and achievement in Procurement, Sourcing, or Category Management roles.

To reassure the successful candidate does not have to be a dedicated "Travel" procurement specialist, the hiring business is happy to consider "Indirect / Business" Procurement professionals who have potentially worked in a more generalist capacity across several indirect categories career to date e.g. legal, marketing, communications, logistics, FM etc.

What's on offer
You will join an award-winning employer who champions progressive careers and a flexible working environment. You will receive a competitive salary plus a full suite of additional benefits including bonus and hybrid working with home working available 2-3 days a week.
