Are you a procurement specialist with a passion for food ingredients and a knack for navigating complex supply chains? This is your opportunity to join one of the UK's most dynamic FMCG manufacturers, a business with a rich heritage, iconic brands, and a bold vision for growth.

You'll be stepping into a high-impact role where your decisions shape the quality, cost, and innovation behind products enjoyed by millions. From flour and fats to fruit, dairy, and sweeteners, you'll manage the sourcing of essential ingredients that fuel large-scale production across multiple sites. You'll develop category strategies, lead supplier negotiations, and partner with NPD and planning teams to unlock value, drive innovation, and ensure supply resilience in a fast-moving, consumer-driven environment.

Why This Role Stands Out:

• Own a critical spend area across a diverse ingredient portfolio.
• Influence product innovation and supplier performance at scale.
• Work with a collaborative, commercially focused team that values initiative and impact.
• Be part of a business investing in growth, sustainability, and supply chain excellence.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Leading strategic sourcing and category management for food ingredients and commodities.
• Managing supplier relationships and performance to ensure on-time, in-full delivery.
• Collaborating with NPD and bakery teams to support innovation and operational needs.
• Driving value engineering and cost optimisation across the supply base.
• Mitigating market and supply risks through smart cover strategies and data-led decisions.
• Using SAP and Excel to manage contracts, POs, and reporting with precision.

What You'll Bring:

• 4+ years of procurement experience, ideally in food manufacturing or commodity buying.
• Strong analytical skills and commercial acumen, you know how to spot value and negotiate it.
• Confidence in managing suppliers and stakeholders across functions and levels.
• Experience with SAP and a data-driven approach to procurement.
• Tenacity, curiosity, and a proactive mindset, you're not just here to maintain, but to improve.

This is a career-defining opportunity for someone who wants to shape the future of food sourcing in a business that's scaling fast and investing in its people. If you're ready to bring your procurement expertise to a role where it truly matters, get in touch.
