Procurement Talent
Management
Build, develop, and retain the procurement team you need for long-term success.
Attracting, recruiting, and developing your procurement function
At Accelerate Procurement, we help organisations design and strengthen their procurement functions through targeted talent strategies.
Whether you need to grow internal capability, define roles and responsibilities, or access experienced interim support, we work with you to ensure you have the right people, in the right roles, delivering the right results.
In a competitive talent market, the success of your procurement function depends not just on systems or strategy, but on the capability and alignment of your team.
Our talent management service
We offer end-to-end talent support, combining deep procurement expertise with hands-on experience in organisational design, recruitment, and capability development. Our services cover:
Operating model & role design
We help to define or refine your procurement team structure, aligned to business needs and procurement strategy. This includes:
– Role definition and job descriptions
– Skills and capability mapping
– Governance and reporting lines
– Strategic vs operational role clarity
We ensure your team is set up for delivery, whether centralised, decentralised, or hybrid.
Capability assessment & skills development
We assess your current team’s skills against leading procurement competencies. From this, we identify gaps, succession risks and development opportunities, helping you plan for growth, training, or recruitment with clarity.
Where required, we design tailored development plans, coaching and training pathways to upskill your team in areas such as:
– Category management
– Negotiation and supplier management
– Commercial acumen
– S2P systems and digital skills
Interim & flexible resourcing
Need short-term support or specialist expertise? We provide access to trusted procurement resource, from analysts and category leads to programme managers and procurement directors, available at pace and embedded seamlessly within your team.
We can also provide managed project support to supplement internal capacity and capability, ensuring you maintain momentum during periods of change or transformation.
