Job Details
First Quality Foods is a Yate based food manufacturing company, employing around 30 staff.
Coinciding with our move to new premises, we are experiencing exciting business growth and are now looking for a Procurement Manager to join our management team.
At First Quality Foods you will be responsible for buying and managing all our ingredients, packaging, third party suppliers and key services suppliers - developing existing and forging new supplier relationships.
You will actively monitor and engage with suppliers - reviewing the integrity, quality and suitability of materials purchased, managing costs and pricing as well as developing a strong understanding of the marketplace with the aim of continual enhancement and improvement.
You will be responsible for ensuring our suppliers comply with our quality standards, including record keeping of specs, accreditation and certificates of conformance.
As part of a small management team, your role will involve liaison with the Operations team, Commercial, Technical support, Supply Chain and NPD. We all work closely together and you will find the environment engaging and supportive.
The suitable candidate will have previous procurement experience, be a confident and proficient negotiator with a polite but firm manner. You will have an understanding of the food/drink production or distribution business and have been previously involved in the procurement of packaging, ingredients or management of 3rd party suppliers/co-packers.
Any relevant educational certification or affiliation will be advantageous but not essential.
This is an office based role but will require occasional visits to suppliers - mostly in the UK and less so in Europe.
