Description
About Baringa
We set out to build the world’s most trusted consulting firm – creating lasting impact for clients and pioneering a positive, people-first way of working. We work with everyone from FTSE 100 names to bright new start-ups, in every sector.
You’ll find us collaborating shoulder-to-shoulder with our clients, from the big picture right down to the detail: helping them define their strategy, deliver complex change, spot the right commercial opportunities, manage risk, or bring their purpose and sustainability goals to life. Our clients love how we get to know what makes their organisations tick – slotting seamlessly into their teams and being proudly geeky about solving their challenges.
We have hubs in Europe, the US, Asia and Australia, and we work all around the world - from a wind farm in Wyoming to a boardroom in Berlin. Find us wherever there's a challenge to be tackled and an impact to be made.
Our procurement team are looking for an experienced manager to join them on a 12 month FTC.
We are looking for a commercially astute IT Procurement manager to provide maternity cover during a critical phase of business growth and infrastructure investment.
The primary focus of this role will be on our TeCy department (Technology & Cyber), a function central to our strategic transformation and operational resilience. However, in line with our centre-led procurement model, you’ll also be expected to support and influence broader corporate categories such as Marketing, Events, and other enabling functions as needed.
You will be joining a small and ambitious Procurement team that is driving best practice, commercial rigour, and business partnering across the organisation.
