Overview

Are you a commercially driven Procurement professional looking to make a real impact in a high paced exciting food manufacturing company?

The procurement team is growing and we now have an opportunity for an experienced Procurement Analyst to expand our use of management information.

You'll be someone who can absorb supplier and product performance information, identify what really matters, and turn it into clear, actionable insight that drives business decisions.

You will act as a key operational and analytical partner to leadership, helping shape decisions across supply chain performance, sourcing strategy, operational improvement and business execution within a food manufacturing environment.

Once your induction is complete and you are able to work independently, you’ll have the option to work up to 2 days a week from home (depending on operational commitments).

This role is based at our UK Head Office in Trowbridge Wiltshire.

Who we are

apetito is the UK’s leading food supplier to the health and social care sectors serving more than 1,300 care homes, health care and education settings.

Our meals are expertly crafted by our dieticians and chefs, and then frozen to lock in the goodness.

Wiltshire Farm Foods, our sister company, is the UK’s largest ready meal supplier cooking and delivering over 330 different delicious frozen ready meals across the UK.

Responsibilities

  • Develop a high quality procurement dashboard and supporting material suitable for presentation to the business leadership team
  • Procurement reporting and performance insights, produce regular reporting pack to evaluate short and medium term performance
  • Provide analysis to support supplier evaluation, benchmarking, market insight, and risk management, highlighting any improvement opportunities.
  • Drive continuous improvement of procurement reporting, data processes, and ways of working—improving visibility, speed, and confidence in procurement decisions.
  • Support the procurement administrator with master data accuracy
  • Ensure compliance with procurement policies, contracts and regulatory requirements

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
