Ready to take a good business and make it great? This business is already a strong performer in the UK food manufacturing sector — but now they’re gearing up for their next chapter. We’re looking for a Procurement Manager with spark, drive, and the kind of energy that gets people moving. If you’re the type who walks into a room and instantly lifts the pace, if you love challenging “how things have always been done”, and if you get a buzz from creating real, measurable change — then this is your moment as this is actively being sought. No "that’s how it’s always been done" here.
You’ll take ownership of both raw materials and packaging, shaping how they buy, who they partner with, and how they build resilience and value into every part of their supply chain. This isn’t a role for someone who wants to maintain the status quo.
What you’ll be doing:
- Leading procurement for raw materials and packaging across a fast‑moving food manufacturing environment
- Building supplier relationships that bring innovation, reliability, and commercial advantage
- Challenging current processes and introducing smarter, sharper ways of working
- Working closely with operations, technical, and NPD to keep quality high and costs under control
- Bringing energy, pace, and a proactive mindset to a business that’s ready to evolve
What you’ll bring:
- Confidence, presence, and the ability to influence across all levels
- A natural sense of urgency — you get things moving
- Strong procurement experience in food, FMCG, or manufacturing
- A commercial mindset with the curiosity to ask “why?” and the courage to ask “why not?”
- The ambition to help shape the future of a growing, well‑respected business
If you’re ready to inject energy, challenge thinking, and help drive a business forward, this is your stage. Thank you for reading - please apply today.
