About the Role
We're looking for an experienced technology procurement professional to join our Group Procurement & Contracts team as a Senior Buyer.
This is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in managing and optimising MAG's technology spend, covering everything from enterprise software, SaaS platforms and cloud services through to major technology transformation projects that support our airports, corporate functions and the wider business.
Working within a highly collaborative procurement team, you'll partner closely with stakeholders across Technology, Finance, Legal and Operations to develop sourcing strategies, lead complex procurement activities and deliver measurable commercial value. You'll have ownership of a significant technology portfolio, helping to drive cost efficiencies, manage supplier performance and support strategic business initiatives.
This role offers exceptional variety. One day you could be leading negotiations for a major software agreement, and the next supporting projects that impact airport operations, customer experience or critical infrastructure. You'll also have opportunity to contribute to Procurement Act compliance, supplier strategy development and group-wide transformation programmes, including spend across MAG and CAVU.
Joining MAG at a time when procurement is playing a highly visible role in delivering business savings and value creation, you'll have the chance to make a genuine impact while working alongside a supportive, down-to-earth team that values collaboration over ego.
Key Responsibilities
Lead end-to-end procurement activities across a broad technology portfolio, including software, SaaS, cloud services, technology platforms and associated professional services.
Develop and implement procurement and category strategies that align with business objectives and deliver long-term value.
Manage competitive tendering processes, supplier selection exercises and commercial negotiations.
Build strong relationships with senior stakeholders across MAG to understand requirements and influence commercial decision-making.
Deliver savings, cost avoidance initiatives and other measurable commercial benefits across technology spend.
Manage supplier performance and relationships, ensuring service, commercial and operational objectives are achieved.
Monitor technology markets and industry trends to identify opportunities, innovations and emerging suppliers.
Ensure compliance with the Procurement Act 2023 and MAG's procurement governance framework.
Support contract management activities, risk mitigation and continuous improvement initiatives across the supplier base.
Contribute to wider procurement projects and support other category teams where required.
What Will Make You Successful
Significant procurement experience with a strong focus on technology, software, SaaS, cloud services or IT-related spend categories.
Experience leading complex sourcing exercises and commercial negotiations in a category-managed environment.
Strong stakeholder management skills with the ability to influence and challenge at all levels of the organisation.
A commercially minded approach, with a proven track record of delivering savings, value creation and supplier optimisation initiatives.
Experience managing supplier relationships and driving performance through robust contract and supplier management practices.
Strong understanding of procurement best practice and commercial governance.
Knowledge of the Procurement Act 2023 would be advantageous, although not essential.
MCIPS qualified or working towards MCIPS, or equivalent procurement experience.
A collaborative and pragmatic approach, with the ability to build trusted relationships across teams and suppliers.
Strategic thinker who can balance immediate business requirements with longer-term commercial objectives.
Equal Opportunities & Reasonable Adjustments
We're building something brilliant at MAG: a diverse team of Journey Makers who share our values and want to make a difference. We're on a mission to be number one in our industry, and that takes talent in all its forms. With so many exciting roles across our airports and businesses, there's space for your unique strengths to shine.
Whether this is your first role with us or your next big career move, we want to hear from you, even if you don't think you meet every requirement. What matters most is what you bring.
We're proud to be a Disability Confident employer. If you need any adjustments to support your application or interview, just let us know. We're committed to helping you perform at your best.
At MAG, every journey matters. Our Colleague Communities play a big part in that: Women's Network, Embrace (Race & Ethnicity), Fly with Pride (LGBTQIA+), Mind Matters (Mental Health), PACT (Parents & Carers), RespectABILITY (Disability & Neurodiversity), and the CAVU Global ID&E Affinity Group.

Manchester Airports Group (MAG) is the UK’s largest airports group. Collectively, MAG owns and operates three UK airports – Manchester, London Stansted, and East Midlands – alongside digital travel services business, CAVU.
Last year 54m passengers flew through our airports, and we contributed more than £8bn to the UK economy. MAG directly employs 7,000 people and supports more than 40,000 jobs across the supply chain.
We understand airports and air travel better than anyone. Our impact spans the length of the UK, with around 70% of the population living within a two-hour journey of a MAG airport. By working with a wide range of airlines to forge long-term partnerships that maximise the choice and value available to passengers, we have grown a large route network that connects people and businesses to the globe.
Looking ahead, we are ambitious and focused on making the future of travel better. We are investing in our airports to launch new routes, and give our passengers the best experience. In CAVU, we are using MAG’s decades of aviation experience and industry-leading consumer insights to revolutionise airport travel. And, running through everything we do, we are working confidently towards a sustainable future and achieving net zero for aviation by 2050.
