Benefits:

As well as a competitive pension scheme, BAE Systems also offers employee share plans, an extensive range of flexible discounted health, wellbeing and lifestyle benefits, including a green car scheme, private health plans and shopping discounts - you may also be eligible for an annual incentive.

The Supply Chain team:

As a Strategic Procurement Manager, you will play a strategic role focused on supplier development, future technology enablement, and market engagement. This is not a logistics or operational delivery role - it is centred on shaping the supplier ecosystem, gathering market intelligence, supporting innovation, and influencing long-term sourcing strategies across major programmes. You'll act as a key interface between the business and external market to ensure resilience, innovation, and agility in the future supply base.

This role offers the opportunity to challenge established ways of working and question default supplier choices, creating space to introduce new suppliers and innovative technologies that can enhance performance across the enterprise. It is particularly well-suited to someone bringing experience from outside the submarine domain, offering fresh perspective and the ability to influence positive change by disrupting long-standing assumptions. The role also provides a strong platform for career progression within a high-profile and strategically important area of the business.

Why BAE Systems?

This is a place where you'll be able to make a real difference. You'll be part of an inclusive culture that values diversity of thought, rewards integrity, and merit, and where you'll be empowered to fulfil your potential. We welcome people from all backgrounds and want to make sure that our recruitment processes are as inclusive as possible. If you have a disability or health condition (for example dyslexia, autism, an anxiety disorder etc.) that may affect your performance in certain assessment types, please speak to your recruiter about potential reasonable adjustments.

Please be aware that many roles at BAE Systems are subject to both security and export control restrictions. These restrictions mean that factors such as your nationality, any nationalities you may have previously held, and your place of birth can restrict the roles you are eligible to perform within the organisation. All applicants must as a minimum achieve Baseline Personnel Security Standard. Many roles also require higher levels of National Security Vetting where applicants must typically have 5 to 10 years of continuous residency in the UK depending on the vetting level required for the role, to allow for meaningful security vetting checks.
