Vacancy
Commercial Partnerships Manager
Job Description
Procure Smart has quietly but impressively built an exciting brand and a dynamic business model over the past two years. We understand the financial pressures that businesses face today and have developed a straightforward process for our experts to quickly gather information, assess costs, and identify savings. Our services cover energy, water, telecoms, waste, and card payments. Our Renewables division offers a turnkey service from feasibility to funding and installation, ensuring efficiency and smart cost management for businesses.
With strong foundations rooted in an employee-focused culture, the business is perfectly positioned for a period of sustainable growth in both revenue and career opportunities.
We’re looking for someone who thrives on building relationships, a natural connector with a strong and active network across the North East business community. This role is all about opening doors, creating trusted introductions, and transforming connections into long-term commercial partnerships that deliver revenue for both our business and our partners.

Closing Date

Experience Needed
Proven sales skills, ambition and confidence.
A strong network.
The Role
This is not a direct sales role. Instead, you’ll use your credibility, influence, and local presence to introduce partner organisations to our outsourced procurement model. In many cases, these will operate like affiliate partnerships — where businesses are rewarded for introducing our cost-saving solution to their own customer base.
You’ll identify opportunities where improving purchasing power can strengthen a partner’s offering, helping their clients unlock cost savings and operational efficiencies. Once the introduction is made, our procurement specialists manage the process through to completion.
If you’re the person others turn to when they need to know “Who should I speak to about…?”, you’re likely a great fit.
What You’ll Be Doing
· Using your existing relationships to introduce us to local businesses who can benefit from our outsourced procurement model — directly or through their own customer networks
· Actively promoting Procure Smart’s solution as a no-cost, value-add affiliate partnership, unlocking new revenue streams for partners through referral and introduction activity
· Developing a trusted partner ecosystem across the region (e.g., venue operators, business support organisations, networking groups, professional services firms)
· Acting as a connector between businesses and our internal procurement experts
· Attending local business events to expand influence and uncover referral opportunities
· Maintaining ongoing communication and ensuring partners feel supported, engaged, and rewarded
What’s in it for you?
Our model is transforming how businesses buy. Reducing costs while increasing value. Your ability to champion that locally is key to bringing more organisations on the journey with us and expanding our affiliate partnership network across the North East.
We work Monday – Friday with an early finish on Fridays. No weekends required.
Competitive base salary + strong commission
High-spec office in an ideal location with great transport links and free car park & coffee
Role at the heart of our regional growth strategy with long-term career development
Enhanced annual leave entitlement
Supportive experts handling delivery so you can focus on what you do best, connecting people.
