Location: Chiswick, London | Working Arrangement: Hybrid (3-4 days in the office) Salary: £75,000 - £85,000 + Bonus + Benefits
About the Role
Shape the commodity strategy of a global FMCG business.
We are partnering with a leading global food manufacturer to appoint a Global Commodity & Hedging Manager within their Global Ingredients team.
This is a high-impact, commercially focused role designed for you to combine commodity market intelligence, quantitative analysis, and financial risk management to influence sourcing decisions across a global manufacturing network.
Collaborating closely with Global Category Managers and Procurement Leadership, you will provide actionable insights on critical raw materials including:
- Cocoa
- Wheat
- Sugar
- Vegetable oils
You’ll help the business manage market volatility and optimise purchasing strategies. While expertise in agricultural commodities is advantageous, we welcome professionals with strong analytical or hedging experience from markets such as metals or energy.
