About Us Dentaprime is the largest private dental clinic group in the UK and the EU, with flagship operations in London and Varna. We are internationally recognised for clinical excellence, innovation, and scale, delivering world-class dental care through cutting-edge technology and highly trained professionals.

As we continue our rapid expansion across Europe, we are seeking a Head of Purchasing to lead procurement and supply chain operations across both locations, ensuring efficiency, consistency, and quality in a high-performance healthcare environment.

Role Overview

The Head of Purchasing will oversee the full procurement lifecycle across our operations in London and Varna — from supplier selection and negotiation to inventory management and logistics coordination.

During the initial phase, the role will require frequent travel between Varna and London to gain deep understanding of our systems, products, and operational workflows. As the function becomes fully established, travel will reduce; however, close cross-location collaboration will remain essential.

This is a strategic yet hands-on leadership role, requiring strong commercial judgment, operational discipline, and the ability to perform in a dynamic, fast-growing healthcare organization.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and implement a unified procurement strategy across UK and EU operations
• Lead, manage, and develop the purchasing teams in both countries
• Source, negotiate, and manage relationships with key suppliers, ensuring optimal cost, quality, and compliance
• Standardise product ranges and supply chains to improve efficiency, consistency, and scalability
• Oversee logistics, warehousing, and inventory control to ensure uninterrupted clinical operations
• Implement procurement systems, policies, and controls to enhance transparency, reporting, and governance
• Collaborate closely with clinical leadership, finance, and operations teams to forecast demand and manage budgets
• Monitor market trends, regulatory changes, and emerging technologies to maintain a competitive advantage

Requirements

• Proven experience in procurement, purchasing, or supply chain management, preferably within healthcare, medical devices, or a related industry
• Strong understanding of international procurement, logistics, and compliance across the UK and EU
• Excellent negotiation, leadership, and stakeholder management skills
• Analytical mindset with experience implementing or optimising ERP or procurement systems
• Willingness and ability to travel frequently between the UK and Bulgaria (initially intensive, then as required)
• Fluency in English

What We Offer

• Competitive salary with a BONUS system
• 100 € monthly food vouchers
• Transport allowance or company-provided transportation
• Daily healthy two-course lunches
• Complimentary hot beverages and smoothies
• 27 days paid annual leave
• Additional health insurance
• Free training and language courses
• Complimentary and discounted dental care
• Preferential Multisport card access
• Regular social events and team-building activities
