The vacancy

Hours: Full-time 37 hours per week

Contract: Permanent

We're a housing provider in Macclesfield with over 5000 properties across East Cheshire and the surrounding areas. We're ambitious with plans to build more homes, regenerate local areas and invest in our properties.

A fantastic opportunity has arisen for a Procurement Manager to lead compliant, transparent, and value focused procurement activity across our organisation in line with new procurement legislation and internal governance requirements. This role will be instrumental in maximising value for money, managing risk and ensuring procurement activity directly supports strategic objectives.

We can offer you:

• A minimum of 29 days holiday per year inclusive of Christmas shut down, (plus birthday leave and bank holidays).

• Attractive Defined Contribution Pension Scheme with Employer's contributions up to 12%

• Agile Working with the opportunity for Flexible working hours and home working

• A focus on your health and wellbeing including access to our Health Cash Plan offering a variety of benefits and discounts.

• Training and development. Let us know where you want to get to and we'll help you get there.

• A state of the art modern office with a friendly working environment

About the role:

In this key role, you will take ownership of end-to-end competitive procurement exercises, acting as a subject-matter expert and trusted advisor to stakeholders. Your focus will be on delivering measurable value, driving cost efficiency, and ensuring supplier arrangements support long-term organisational performance.

While day-to-day contract management sits with service areas, you will maintain oversight of supplier and contract performance to provide assurance, manage risk, and support strong commercial outcomes.

The role involves translating procurement legislation into practical approaches, developing procurement processes and guidance, ensuring robust audit trails, and supporting internal and external audits. You will work collaboratively with stakeholders to challenge specifications, drive value for money, and embed social value and sustainability considerations into procurement activity.

In addition, you will lead and develop a Procurement Officer and build organisational capability by providing expert guidance, training and support to colleagues, strengthening commercial awareness and procurement maturity across the business.

About you:

We are looking for a procurement professional with a strong track record of delivering end-to-end procurements that secure demonstrable value for money and support sustainable commercial decisions. With knowledge of procurement legislation, you'll have a practical, solutions-focused approach with a strong customer focus.

A professional procurement qualification such as CIPS, or equivalent experience, is desirable.

If you would like to play a part in driving our business forward, we'd love to hear from you.

Our Values are at the core of everything we do, so we are looking for someone whose values agree with ours and will embed these too!

Closing date: Friday 8th May 2026
