INTERIM HOTEL PROCUREMENT SPECIALIST – LONDON HQ The Interim Hotel Procurement Specialist is responsible for leading the procurement function across the hotel portfolio, ensuring the business secures the right products, services, and supplier partnerships to deliver exceptional guest experiences while achieving commercial value. This role requires a commercially minded procurement professional with hospitality experience, strong negotiation skills, and the ability to drive cost efficiencies without compromising quality or brand standards. As an interim appointment, you will provide immediate expertise, review current procurement practices, identify opportunities for improvement, and support operational teams through a period of change and business transformation. THE STAGE IS SET The stage is set for something different. We don’t run conventional hotels; we build places with character and intent. What began as a small UK aparthotel portfolio has grown into a European collection recognised for design and atmosphere - and we’re now entering a new chapter. As we redefine the brand and evolve our identity, we’re focused on creating spaces that feel compelling, contemporary, and truly distinctive. Locke leads with bold expression; Cove by Locke refines that same spirit into a quieter, more streamlined approach. Guests come to rest, work, or escape. Comfort is a given - great beds, hot showers, genuine service. But we aim to create moments that feel memorable and a little unexpected, bringing back the sense of mood hospitality often lost. This is our backdrop. We’re on an exciting journey step on stage and play your part. THE WORK IN YOUR HANDS Lead procurement across the hotel portfolio, delivering commercial value while supporting operational excellence. Develop and implement sourcing strategies across key spend categories, driving cost efficiencies without compromising quality or brand standards. Build and manage strong supplier relationships, negotiate contracts, monitor performance, and mitigate supply chain risks. Partner with hotel operations to support day-to-day purchasing, property openings, refurbishments, and capital projects. Analyse spend, identify savings opportunities, and support budgeting, forecasting, and procurement reporting. Ensure purchasing activities comply with company policies, legal requirements, and sustainable procurement practices. Work collaboratively with Operations, Finance, Food & Beverage, Development, and Property teams to deliver procurement initiatives and continuous improvement across the business. THE FIRE YOU CARRY A proactive, can-do attitude with the confidence to take ownership and drive results. An entrepreneurial mindset with the ability to identify opportunities, challenge thinking, and create solutions. The ability to thrive in a fast-paced, ever-changing environment. Proven procurement experience within hospitality, hotels, serviced apartments, or a multi-site operational environment. A successful track record of developing procurement strategies that deliver commercial value, cost savings, and operational efficiencies. Demonstrated success in supplier negotiations, contract management, and strategic sourcing across multiple spend categories. Strong knowledge of hospitality procurement, including Food & Beverage, Rooms, Housekeeping, Engineering, IT, and Operational Supplies. Experience partnering with operational teams and managing multiple stakeholders across a complex, fast-paced business. The ability to analyse spend, identify opportunities, and implement continuous improvements that enhance performance and value. A commercial mindset with the drive to maximise opportunities and deliver meaningful impact. YOUR PROVEN TRACK Excellent commercial acumen with strong analytical and problem-solving skills. Outstanding negotiation, communication, and relationship-building abilities. Highly organised with strong project management skills and the ability to manage competing priorities. Experience using procurement systems, purchasing platforms, and Microsoft Office applications. Strong understanding of hospitality supply chains, supplier markets, and industry trends. The ability to work independently, adapt quickly, and deliver results in an interim role. A collaborative approach with the confidence to influence stakeholders at all levels. A passion for continuous improvement and delivering exceptional outcomes. WHAT WE LOOK FOR We’re here to rethink what a modern lifestyle hotel can be. That takes pace, creativity, and people who enjoy working with purpose. If you’re comfortable with change, motivated by ideas, and focused on crafting meaningful guest experiences, you’ll do well here. We value individuals who can hold a vision, appreciate atmosphere, and want their work to have impact. Skills can be taught. Mindset can’t. There’s no single template for success here - just the right approach and willingness to grow.
