I'm currently partnering with a leading global 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 and Packaging at different levels, offering an excellent opportunity to join a business where Procurement is becoming increasingly strategic.
It's a particularly exciting time to join. Procurement is receiving significant investment and senior-level backing, with an experienced leadership team focused on developing capability, strengthening supplier partnerships and creating a more strategic, commercially driven function.
The business is also investing in technology, AI and data-led procurement, with ambitions to improve sourcing, supplier management and commercial decision-making.
These roles will manage strategically important categories across food commodities, ingredients, raw materials and packaging, providing exposure to complex supplier markets, high-value spend and categories that directly impact manufacturing operations and business performance.
You will have the opportunity to influence key business decisions, develop category strategies, drive innovation and sustainability, and build supplier relationships that deliver long-term commercial value.
Why consider these opportunities?
- Multiple opportunities across Direct Procurement and Packaging at different levels.
- Major investment and transformation within Procurement, with strong senior leadership backing.
- Technology, AI and data-led procurement forming part of the wider transformation agenda.
- High-profile strategic categories across food commodities, ingredients, raw materials and packaging.
- Strategic influence over sourcing decisions, supplier partnerships and commercial performance.
- Global supplier exposure, managing complex supply markets, cost drivers and commercial challenges.
- Innovation and sustainability, working with suppliers to improve products, processes and long-term value.
- Strong leadership team, offering the opportunity to learn from experienced procurement professionals.
- Career development and progression, with opportunities to grow within a large international organisation.
- People management opportunities within the more senior positions.
