Procurement Consultant - Develop your Career

Procurement for the Bold.

At Proxima, we don’t just advise clients, we deliver change. We are a specialist procurement consultancy that partners with some of the world’s most ambitious organizations to transform how they spend, source, and manage suppliers, unlocking measurable commercial and strategic value.

As part of Bain & Company’s global ecosystem, we operate at the intersection of strategy and execution, working side by side with clients to turn bold ideas into tangible results. Our purpose is simple and powerful: to drive purposeful and profitable change.

Due to continued global growth, we are expanding our consulting team and seeking early-career consultants with 1 to 2 years of experience who are excited to build their careers and be part of our expansion.

With offices across Europe, North America, and APAC, including London, Leeds, Cardiff, Düsseldorf, Chicago, Singapore, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, Sydney, and Melbourne, we offer a dynamic hybrid working model that blends time on client sites, at home, and in your local office.

This is an exciting time to join a team of exceptional people.
