We are looking for an exceptional strategic Procurement Director to develop the buying strategy for a highly innovative multi-site food manufacturing business in Norfolk.

Our client is one of those few companies genuinely leading their sector with a strong mix of customers and niche manufacturing capabilities that have delivered year of year growth in a highly competitive market. As a result of this growth the business now wish to appoint an exceptional Procurement Director to develop the buying strategy, processes and the team to support the next phase of development.

Reporting directly to the Group Operations Director, this role will focus on shaping the three year buying strategy ensuring the business and team are well placed to deliver the day to day purchasing as well as create strategic partnerships with the right suppliers who will support the long term plan.  The role will establish excellent buying processes and develop the buying team to be recognised as leaders in their field, able to balance cost, quality, availability and risk across a challenging and dynamic commodity market and global supply chain.

To be suitable for this opportunity we are looking for candidates with an excellent track record in international FMCG procurement at Head of Procurement or Procurement Director level within the manufacturing or retailer sectors, ideally CIPS qualified. Product knowledge is not important as our client believes if you have the right skill set, management style and communication traits you can excel in this role. Clearly you will be a strong negotiator, able to adapt in a dynamic market and have excellent numerical and leadership skills but above all you will need drive and ambition to make this role your own whilst becoming a key member of the leadership team.
