Head of Procurement

"Excellent opportunity for procurement professional with track record in stakeholder engagement and transformational change".

£65-80000 Car/Allowance Excellent Benefits Package

Cambridgeshire (Hybrid/Remote with National Remit).

Are you an experienced procurement professional looking for a challenging role?

Our client, a major supplier of agricultural products and equipment, is currently recruiting for a Head of Procurement to join their team based in, Cambridgeshire. This is a newly created role, and you will be ably supported by an experienced Buyer. The successful candidate will create a unified procurement strategy and system across the entire business, for indirect spend/GNFR, consisting of multiple sites in the UK.

In recent years, the company has purchased several other businesses around the UK, each with its own localised procurement function. As you can imagine, it isn't an efficient system with fluctuations in price, quality, and delivery at each site.

So, this role has been created to build a centralised procurement system from the ground up. As each site was previously a stand-alone business, they all have historical, ingrained systems, so your key challenge will be to transition them all to a central system with new procedures. As such, your change-management and negotiation skills will be heavily used.

A large part of your success will be in building relationships with each site manager, understanding their preferred suppliers, and delivering detailed training, coaching, and mentoring on your new system.

Our client expects you will be degree and qualified in a relevant discipline and have substantial experience in leading a procurement function in a multi-site, matrix environment. CIPS ideally to level 6 or equivalent would be advantageous. Experience with SAP will also be a huge plus.

Although this is a UK-wide role, you should live within commuting distance of Huntingdon as you will be expected to visit the head office periodically.

So, if you are up for the challenge and believe you possess the necessary skills and experience to excel in this role, we would love to hear from you!

Junior Commercial Finance Brokers - Graduate Trainee Sales Role

"Kick-start your career with one of the UK's leading asset finance companies and develop your skills and experience through their structured training programme."

Salary £24000 +  £12000 Guaranteed Commission (1st Year) Benefits (OTE £60-80000 on completion of graduate training scheme)

Northamptonshire, East Midlands, UK

Are you a recent graduate in a business studies or humanities discipline? Having graduated with a minimum 2:1 classification, you may have fallen into your current role and are enjoying the world of work.

But is it fulfilling? Can you see a clear route through to a senior level in your current business? Is your current company supporting your career development with a highly structured training programme?

That's what you'll receive from our client in one of their graduate trainee positions. You'll work alongside the Commercial Director and Sales Director, who will mentor you through your initial 12-16-week training programme.

During that time, you'll learn about commercial asset finance, the financial products our client offers, how to nurture sales opportunities from a lead through to a closed deal, then manage that client account for the long-term.

As such, your training will focus heavily on warm-calling existing previous or current clients to develop your confidence and ability in creating sales. However, this isn't a telesales type of role where you have a product to push onto a prospective customer. Instead, it's a consultative sale where you have to understand how the prospect's business operates then select the most appropriate financial solutions.

Having developed that initial enquiry, you'll then pass ownership of the deal to an account manager but work closely with them to learn the process of completing the sale.

Our client's ambition for you is to complete your training then start creating and managing your own deals where you will then earn a generous commission on top of your base salary.

Given the nature of the role, you'll need outstanding verbal and written communication skills along with a desire to work in a sales-based role and the ambition to succeed. You'll also need a UK driving licence as there will be occasional travel to clients' premises.

Sales Managers - Fast Track Career Development Programme

"A rare chance for established Sales Executives to join a successful asset finance business and develop their sales management skills to the next level".

Base Salary £50-75000 OTE £150,00 -200,000 (Year 1-3) & Fantastic Benefits

Are you a Sales Executive at the top of your game?

Maybe you've left college or university, taken a job in sales and reached a high level of achievement in your industry.

Life is good. You're earning decent money.

But perhaps you're wondering what's next? Have you reached a ceiling but have the ambition and drive to go further?

Our client is looking for someone like you. They work in the commercial finance industry and want a rising star to develop into a superstar through their fast-track sales management programme.

Currently, you may be working in a role such as prestige car sales, high-end property sales, or capital equipment, or other B2B or B2C sales and you'll have learned the art of consultative selling. You'll have developed your communication skills to work with companies of all shapes and sizes. And that variety is one of the key features of this role. For example, you could go from talking to a small wine-bar owner about finance for new fridges to the FD of a £10m business wanting finance to purchase a fleet of commercial vehicles.

Your day-to-day role will combine generating new business from warm leads, which you'll aim to convert into long-term accounts for you to manage. Getting to know your clients' businesses will be critical to your success as you'll be able to identify further opportunities to provide financial solutions to help them grow and thrive.

Our client's industry works at a fast pace, and you will have multiple deals in progress at any one time (perhaps 30-40), which can go from initial contact to funds in the bank in a matter of days. As such, you'll be able to flex your time-management muscles and enjoy your sales commission being paid shortly after the client is onboard.

As you rise through the business, you'll then mentor, train and lead other sales executives to bring through the next generation of brokers in the business. And to top it all you will also benefit from an override commission on earnings generated by the team, as well as many other market-leading benefits.
