01 / The challenge
You’re experienced. You’ve delivered results. But positioning yourself for your next opportunity can feel surprisingly difficult.
✦Returning to the job market after years in the same organisation and finding things have changed.
✦Applying for opportunities but struggling to get the response you expected.
✦Finding it difficult to articulate what really differentiates you from other procurement professionals.
✦Unsure what your next move should look like, even though you know you’re ready for something different.
✦Lacking confidence in your CV, LinkedIn profile or approach to interviews.
✦Relying on recruiters and job adverts without knowing how to create opportunities more proactively.
And that’s where stronger career positioning makes a difference.
02 / Why positioning matters
The procurement job market has changed. Has your approach kept up?
Being good at what you do doesn’t automatically mean you’ll stand out in a competitive job market. Particularly at senior level, your experience and achievements are only part of the picture.
You need to understand where you want to go, what makes you different and how to communicate your value in a way that’s relevant to the opportunities you want.
That means going beyond simply updating your CV or applying for more jobs. It means being more intentional about your career direction, your positioning and the relationships that can help create opportunities.
Your next move deserves more than a reactive job search.
03 / Introducing the programme
You don’t need more generic job search advice. You need an approach you can apply to your own career.
The Online Procurement Job Search Positioning Accelerator brings together the foundations of my Procurement Career Positioning Methodology with practical learning, personalised feedback and accountability to help you put what you’re learning into action.
You’ll have the flexibility to work through the online learning at your own pace, with additional founding offer support designed to help you make progress.
Because knowing what to do and actually making it happen are two different things.

Work through practical learning, guided reflection and exercises to help you apply the insights to your own career situation.

Practical learning. Reflection. Tools you can put into action.

07 / Client experiences
The impact of stronger career positioning
For the first time, I’m making the online learning from my Procurement Job Search Accelerator available separately from the full coached programme.
Until now, this learning has formed part of my coached Accelerator programmes, where participants have also benefited from individual and group coaching, as well as learning alongside other procurement professionals.
The following clients experienced the learning alongside coaching with me. Their stories show what can be achieved through a more intentional approach to career positioning, but their results reflect the combined coached experience, not the standalone online programme alone.
“Donna’s methodology has also provided me with an enduring framework for future career endeavours so well worth the investment in my book.”
Gareth · Procurement Leader“I became more precise and confident in articulating what I bring, not just what I’ve done.”
Richard“I approached my career search with far more confidence, purpose and focus.”
Pete“She has a rare talent for identifying strengths that we often overlook in ourselves, and empowering us to articulate our stories with authenticity and confidence.”
Sarah“Small but insightful changes often led to a material improvement in outcomes.”
TimThese testimonials are from participants in Donna’s coached Accelerator programmes, which combined online learning with individual and/or group coaching. This is the first time the core learning is being offered separately, with the specific personalised feedback and additional support described in this founding offer. Results will vary.

Meet Donna Bowden
The Procurement Positioning Career Coach | Founder, Narrate Your Career | Co-Host, Procurement Pivots Podcast
I’ve spent more than 25 years supporting people with their careers, including over 20 years in recruitment and extensive experience working specifically within the procurement profession.
Through my recruitment career, I’ve seen how hiring decisions are made, what employers look for and why highly capable professionals can struggle to communicate their value effectively.
Today, my work brings together that market knowledge, recruitment insight and career coaching expertise to help procurement professionals take greater ownership of their careers.
My mission is to help more procurement professionals build successful, fulfilling careers with greater clarity, confidence and intention.
I believe your career is too important to leave to chance.
For more than two years, I’ve delivered specialist procurement career positioning coaching to procurement leaders operating at some of the most competitive levels of the market. This programme makes the foundations of that work accessible through structured online learning and additional founding offer support.
