Senior Procurement Officer, Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh

Are you a procurement professional passionate about sustainability, collaboration, and delivering value for money? The Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh (RBGE) is seeking a dynamic and experienced Senior Procurement Officer to join our Resources and Planning Division.

As our Senior Procurement Officer, you will play a key role in managing end-to-end regulated procurement activities across a diverse and impactful organisation. You’ll work closely with internal stakeholders and report to the Procurement Manager to ensure procurement strategies align with RBGE’s values and objectives.

You’ll provide expert guidance on procurement planning, market engagement, and sustainability, while leveraging national and sectoral frameworks to ensure efficient, compliant outcomes. Your role will involve close collaboration with internal teams and external suppliers to deliver value-for-money solutions, and you’ll contribute to continuous improvement by supporting procurement training and capacity building across the organisation.

We’re looking for someone with strong interpersonal and communication skills, a solid track record in Scottish public sector procurement, and excellent organisational and analytical abilities. Proficiency in IT (particularly Excel and Word), a proactive, customer-focused mindset, and high professional integrity are essential. Required qualities include familiarity with Public Contracts Scotland (PCS), an understanding of contract law, and an interest in environmental and sustainability issues.
