GLOBAL GLOBAL LEAD – PROCUREMENT

Role Context

Project One is strengthening operational excellence across the Modulaire Group by embedding standard processes, building capability, and improving performance across all critical value streams. Procurement is a central lever in the transformation, ensuring disciplined spend control, structured governance, transparent reporting, and consistent ways of working across all countries and categories.

The Procurement Workstream is responsible for establishing a Group-wide approach that improves spend visibility, contractual discipline, supplier performance, value realisation, and alignment between Procurement, Finance, Operations, and local SBUs. Success requires strong governance, a clear operating model, and complete data integrity within the Group’s project management platform, Amplify, enabling timely tracking of benefits, risks, and delivery progress. At the moment we are offering 6-months contract with immediate start.

Purpose of the Role

The Global Workstream Lead (GWSL) for Procurement is accountable for managing and coordinating the Procurement Workstream within Modulaire’s strategic transformation programme. This is a hands-on role overseeing execution of all procurement initiatives, ensuring full end-to-end visibility, governance, and reporting across Group Procurement and local country teams.

The role owns the detailed management of Amplify, ensuring initiatives, milestones, actions, financial phasing, risks, and supporting documentation are fully accurate and up to date. The GWSL acts as the central coordination point across Procurement, Finance, the Transformation Office, Legal, and all SBUs, ensuring alignment, timely issue resolution, and consistent adoption of the Procurement Operating Model.

The role exists to strengthen spend control, optimise cost, ensure transparency, and embed disciplined procurement practices across the Group — creating a consistent, professional, and value-driven function that supports Modulaire’s strategic ambitions.
