Job Details



An international FMCG manufacturer are seeking an experienced Purchasing professional to take strategic ownership of the company's commodity buying.

The Opportunity

This is a newly created role for the business, intended on helping to establish a long term commodity strategy for the overall benefit of the business. Controlling a spend in the tens of millions, you will initially review current supplier relationships, with a view of identifying potential areas for improvement. You will also act as a representative for the Procurement team when the director can't be present.

You can expect to be targeted against cost reduction, supplier relationship management and strategy execution.

Around 40% of your time will be spent away from the office at international sites. You will be required to speak business French to a confident standard.

The Benefits

With the freedom to manage your own time, you will be free to decide the strategic projects most worthy of your attention. This role has been created to work collaboratively across departments, so you will be given unlimited access to input from senior management.

Your travel expenses will all be covered, and you will be eligible for an excellent benefits package, including healthcare coverage, childcare vouchers, good annual leave and more.

To Interview

You will have an established track record in the Food and Drink industry as a Commodity or Ingredients buyer. You will be able to demonstrate a strategic approach to buying.

You will be flexible to work away from home, and will be confident speaking French to a business standard.

Please apply for full details about this opportunity.
