Delivering procurement transformation through exclusive talent partnerships

Following a longstanding relationship with an interim Head of Procurement, Investigo was introduced to the CFO during a major procurement transformation. The engagement led to the permanent Head of Procurement appointment and an exclusive partnership for all talent needs within the new operating model. The first phase focused on eight critical roles across sourcing, category management, supplier relationship management, third-party risk management, and systems/processes.

Key challenges included: 

• Securing exclusive talent delivery rights for a high-profile transformation phase 
• Recruiting across diverse procurement disciplines 
• Finding candidates with sector knowledge, technical expertise, and change delivery experience 
• Aligning recruitment timelines with phased operating model rollouts 

Investigo partnered with the CFO and Head of Procurement to: 

• Understand detailed role requirements and priorities 
• Identify and engage high-calibre candidates across all procurement functions 
• Deliver a fully managed, exclusive recruitment service for quality and speed 
• Maintain alignment with evolving transformation milestones 

The partnership successfully achieved: 

• Placement of the permanent Head of Procurement, establishing strategic leadership 
• Delivery of eight critical roles across sourcing, category, SRM, TPRM, and systems/processes 
• A trusted, exclusive recruitment partnership to support future transformation phases 
• Enhanced procurement capability aligned to the new operating model
