Rolls Royce offers more than just a job, you'll be part of an inclusive culture that champions continuous learning and development, providing you with a wealth of experience and growth opportunities. There has never been a more exciting time to be part of Procurement within Rolls-Royce as our recent transformation programme has positioned the function as a critical Business Capability, trusted to deliver against our ambitious performance and financial targets.

As well as providing an opportunity to demonstrate your procurement skills such as negotiation, strategic sourcing and supplier management, Rolls-Royce is also embracing the future of procurement by developing a digitally enabled and literate organisation, alongside a focus on embedding sustainability into the way we operate both internally and across our supply chain.
Work with us and we’ll welcome you into an inclusive culture, one that invests in your continuous learning and development, and gives you access to a wide breadth and depth of experience.
We offer excellent development, a competitive salary and remarkable benefits. These include bonus, employee support assistance and employee discounts.
Your needs are as unique as you are. Hybrid working is a way in which our people can balance their time between the office, home or another remote location. It’s a locally managed and flexed informal discretionary arrangement. As a minimum we’re all expected to attend the workplace for collaboration and other specific reasons, on average three days per week.
