Procurement Manager
12-Month Contract | Fife | £50,000
We are supporting a well-established FMCG business in Fife with the appointment of a Procurement & Cost Optimisation Manager on an initial 12-month contract, with the potential for the role to become permanent.
This is a brand-new, greenfield position within the business, created to take a strategic look at the organisation's overall procurement and cost base. Reporting directly to the Finance Director, you will have the opportunity to influence how the business manages both its direct and indirect spend, working closely with stakeholders across the organisation to identify savings, improve supplier performance and introduce robust procurement processes and best practices.
This is an ideal opportunity for an experienced procurement professional who enjoys working autonomously, challenging the status quo and building procurement capability from the ground up.
The Role
You will take ownership of reviewing and understanding the company's current spend across both direct and indirect categories, identifying opportunities to reduce costs, improve commercial arrangements and introduce greater procurement control.
As this is a greenfield position, a key element of the role will be creating and embedding procurement best practices, processes and controls that can provide the business with greater visibility, consistency and accountability around expenditure.
Key responsibilities will include:
- Undertaking a comprehensive review and analysis of current direct and indirect spend.
- Identifying and delivering opportunities to reduce costs and improve commercial value.
- Reviewing existing suppliers, contracts, pricing structures and commercial agreements.
- Leading negotiations and renegotiations with key suppliers.
- Developing and implementing procurement best practices, processes and controls across the business.
- Establishing consistent approaches to supplier selection, tendering, negotiation and contract management.
- Identifying opportunities for supplier consolidation, competitive tendering and alternative sourcing.
