About Us

Dentaprime is the largest private dental clinic group in the UK and 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 to grow rapidly across Europe, we are seeking a Head of Purchasing to lead our procurement and supply chain operations across both sites, ensuring efficiency, consistency, and quality across our large-scale, high-performance environment.

Role Overview The Head of Purchasing will oversee the full procurement lifecycle across our operations in London and Varna, managing all purchasing activities from supplier selection and negotiation to stock management and logistics coordination. Initially, this role will involve frequent travel between Varna and London, to fully understand our systems, products, and processes across both regions. As the function stabilises, travel will reduce, but cross-location collaboration will remain integral.

This is a strategic and hands-on leadership position requiring strong commercial acumen, operational oversight, and the ability to work within a highly dynamic healthcare environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and implement a unified procurement strategy across UK and EU operations.
• Lead and manage the purchasing team across both countries.
• Source, negotiate, and manage relationships with key suppliers, ensuring cost-effectiveness, quality, and compliance.
• Standardise product ranges and supply chains across both clinics to improve efficiency and consistency.
• Oversee logistics, warehousing, and inventory control, ensuring timely and accurate supply to clinical operations.
• Implement procurement systems, policies, and controls to enhance visibility and reporting.
• Collaborate closely with clinical leadership, finance, and operations teams to forecast demand and manage budgets.
• Monitor market trends, regulatory updates, and new technologies to maintain a competitive edge.

Requirements

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