Category ownership will be shaped around your experience and strengths, offering genuine flexibility for the right individual.

You’ll be responsible for developing procurement strategies, leading major tender activity, building supplier partnerships and delivering commercial value across a complex, multi-site environment.

  • Monitoring market trends, legislation and sustainability requirements impacting procurement decisions.
  • Coaching and influencing colleagues across the procurement function.
  • Contributing to a growing global procurement agenda.

What We’re Looking For

You’ll likely bring:

  • Significant procurement experience within a direct procurement environment.
  • Experience managing complex spend categories across multiple sites.
  • Strong strategic sourcing, tendering and negotiation skills.
  • Excellent stakeholder management and influencing capability.
  • A proactive, solutions-focused mindset.
  • The resilience to thrive within a fast-moving and evolving business.
  • The confidence to operate autonomously whilst collaborating across teams.
  • A desire to develop, lead and step into greater levels of responsibility.

Experience within FMCG, food manufacturing or fresh food would be advantageous, although we are open to candidates from other sectors who can demonstrate strong procurement expertise and the right leadership qualities.

The Type of Person Who Will Succeed

This role will suit someone who:

  • Enjoys building and improving processes rather than simply following them.
  • Thrives in environments where there is plenty of opportunity to make an impact.
  • Is comfortable working through ambiguity and change.
  • Can balance strategic thinking with practical delivery.
  • Builds credibility through influence and relationships rather than hierarchy.
  • Is hungry for progression and excited by future leadership opportunities.

Working Pattern & Travel

This is a genuinely flexible role, but not one that fits into a rigid office schedule.

You’ll spend your time where you can add the most value, whether that’s at the office, visiting suppliers, supporting operational sites or collaborating with stakeholders.
