Multiple Direct Procurement Opportunities – FMCG - Surrey - £60,000 – £95,000 + Car Allowance + Bonus + Package
I’m currently partnering with a leading FMCG organisation that is going through a significant transformation of its Procurement function. As part of this growth, they are making multiple hires across Direct Procurement at different levels.
It’s a particularly exciting time to join the business. Procurement is receiving significant investment and senior-level backing, with a strong leadership team focused on developing the function, improving capability and creating a more strategic, data-led approach to procurement.
The business is also investing heavily in technology and AI, with a clear ambition to use data, digital tools and AI to improve sourcing, supplier management and commercial decision-making.
The roles will manage strategically important spend across food commodities, ingredients and raw materials, giving you exposure to complex global supplier markets and categories that have a direct impact on the performance of the business.
