We're looking for an experienced and commercially minded leader to head up the Southwest Procurement division for our client. This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys variety, takes ownership, and wants to shape and grow a regional business that supports public sector clients across the Southwest.
You'll be joining an independent, not-for-profit organisation that has a long-standing reputation for delivering quality frameworks and procurement solutions in construction and housing. The Southwest is a key growth region with real potential - and we're looking for someone to take it to the next level.
What the role involves:
* Leading the regional team, overseeing all aspects of delivery, business development, marketing, client engagement, and performance.
* Building strong relationships with clients, suppliers, and industry partners - much of this will be face-to-face across the Southwest.
* Running the region like a small business, with autonomy to shape the direction and make things happen.
* Working with the wider senior management team to contribute to national strategy and cross-regional initiatives.
* Bringing energy, ideas, and commercial know-how to a close-knit, multi-functional team - mentoring and supporting colleagues to do their best work.
What we're looking for:
* A senior-level background in commercial leadership, sales, business development or procurement - ideally in construction, housing, or the wider public sector.
* Someone who enjoys getting out and meeting people, understands what clients need, and knows how to lead a team to deliver.
* A strategic thinker who isn't afraid to roll up their sleeves - comfortable switching between spreadsheets, high-level planning, and team coaching.
* Strong understanding of how to balance commercial performance with social impact.
* Based within a reasonable distance of Exeter, with flexibility to travel across the Southwest and occasionally to other UK locations.

This is not a passive or desk-based leadership job - it's a proactive role with plenty of scope to make an impact. The region is ready for someone to take the lead, bring fresh perspective, and push things forward. You'll be part of a supportive senior leadership team, with the independence to shape your region and the backing of a respected national organisation.
