Lloyd’s is the world’s leading insurance and reinsurance marketplace, bringing together the world’s leading risk takers to advance global progress.
Our strategy is focused on delivering strong underwriting performance, operating an efficient and flexible marketplace, and maximising the capital advantage of the Lloyd’s market — while continuing to build a Lloyd’s we are proud of.
How we deliver this, matters. We take the risk, make things happen, and own the outcome — working together across our global network to turn insight into impact.
We’re looking for a Senior Procurement Manager to shape category strategies that matter, influence senior stakeholders, and strengthen how we buy across Lloyd’s. You’ll lead with insight, build trust across the business, and help us deliver a marketplace we’re proud of.
What you’ll do
You’ll take ownership of complex procurement categories and turn strategy into impact. That means:
Leading insight‑led category strategies aligned to Lloyd’s priorities.
Running strategic sourcing activity end to end, from market analysis to negotiation and contract award.
Partnering with stakeholders so procurement is embedded in planning and decision‑making.
Managing key suppliers to drive value, performance and resilience.
Spotting opportunities for savings, innovation and smarter ways of working.
Strengthening policies, tools and ways of working to improve consistency and control.
Using data and analytics to inform decisions and track performance.
Playing an active role in building procurement capability through coaching and knowledge‑sharing.
What you’ll bring
You’re a strategic procurement professional who knows how to balance commercial outcomes with integrity.
You’ll bring:
Strong experience in strategic procurement and category management, ideally in complex or regulated environments.
The confidence to lead negotiations and manage senior stakeholder relationships.
A deep understanding of governance, risk and compliance.
A track record of delivering savings, supplier innovation and risk mitigation.
Experience shaping or contributing to procurement improvement or transformation.
The ability to explain complex issues clearly and influence with credibility.
A collaborative mindset and a genuine interest in developing others.
Being inclusive at Lloyd’s is integral to how we work — and how we deliver impact.
We aim to build a diverse, inclusive environment that reflects the global markets we serve, where everyone is treated with dignity and respect and supported to reach their full potential.
We take the risk by challenging traditional thinking and being proactive about inclusion. That means being open and positive about workplace adjustments, prioritising health and wellbeing, and investing in diversity and inclusion training so everyone feels able to contribute and succeed.
We make things happen by turning our commitment into action. Through employee networks, mentoring, volunteering opportunities and sustained investment in professional development, we create an environment where inclusion is experienced day‑to‑day — not just talked about.
We own the outcome by focusing on impact. By bringing together diverse perspectives and the best minds in the industry, we work collaboratively with underwriters and brokers to create innovative, responsive solutions that share risk and solve complex problems across global markets.
