The role

At OneSchool Global UK, we're creating a more strategic, commercial and data-driven approach to procurement across our network of 23 campuses and Regional Support Office. We're looking for an experienced Regional Procurement Manager to lead that journey and establish a visible, value-focused procurement function that delivers meaningful impact across the organisation. This is a senior, hands-on role that combines strategic thinking with practical delivery. Reporting to the Regional Director of Operations, you will shape procurement strategy while personally leading key sourcing activity, supplier negotiations, contract management and continuous improvement initiatives.

About the RoleThis is an exciting opportunity for a commercially-minded procurement professional who wants the scope to influence how procurement is delivered across a complex, multi-site organisation. You will work closely with senior stakeholders across Operations, Finance, IT, Facilities and People functions to strengthen governance, improve supplier performance, drive value for money and ensure procurement decisions support long-term organisational objectives.

This role is about far more than transactional purchasing. We are looking for someone who can challenge constructively, influence decision-making and create a procurement function that delivers genuine commercial value and operational benefit.
