About the Role
Our client, a leading global FMCG organization, is transforming its global Digital Technologies (DT) Commercial procurement function. Historically, the function has operated in a fragmented model across regional teams using disparate tracking methods (Excel, Monday.com, and various spend analytics tools).
We are seeking an experienced Procurement Transformation Lead to conduct rapid current-state discovery, map how procurement actually operates today, and design the Target Operating Model (TOM). You will stand up portfolio governance, stage gates, and controls from scratch, establishing a single source of truth before handing off a clear, dependency-aware implementation roadmap for delivery teams to execute against.
Crucial Distinction (Set-Up vs. Run): We need someone who has built and stood up governance models from scratch. This is not a hands-on delivery project manager role, nor is it a day-to-day PMO administration post.

- Target Operating Model (TOM) Design: Define standard ways of working for how procurement spend, initiatives, and savings are governed and tracked.
- Governance Set-Up from Scratch: Design and stand up portfolio controls, stage-gate frameworks, RAID management, and executive reporting cadences.
- Single Source of Truth: Plan the consolidation of a fragmented tracking landscape onto a single spend & initiative tracking system.
- Benefits & Savings Realization: Establish a robust framework to validate, track, and report cost-savings initiatives.
- Implementation Roadmap & Handover: Build a sequenced execution plan aligned with broader enterprise initiatives (including post-merger integration contexts) and execute a clean handover.

What We Are Looking For
- Set-Up Pedigree: Proven track record of standing up governance, PMO functions, or operating models from scratch during major business transformations.
- Discovery & Roadmap Expertise: Deep background going into fragmented, matrixed organizations, mapping as-is/to-be environments, and producing clear execution plans.
- Procurement Context: Strong grounding in procurement processes and spend management (ideally within IT / Digital Technologies categories).
- Consulting or Enterprise Track Record: Strong preference for ex-Management Consulting backgrounds (Big 4, procurement specialists, Accenture) or large global FMCG/CPG experience.
- Stakeholder Influence: Ability to build credibility and align senior stakeholders across time zones and regions without direct line authority.
- Analytics & Tooling: Familiarity with spend analytics and initiative tracking platforms.
