Opportunities like this are few and far between. We seek a talented Head of Procurement who can bring procurement best practice and excellence to our client.

As the senior procurement leader in the business, you'll ensure the supply chain is robust, efficient, and sustainable, delivering value for both the company and its customers. We require someone who not only knows what great looks like in terms of procurement but who can also lead a team through the change management process from being transactional to achieving procurement excellence through category management. You'll work with the MD to align the procurement strategy with the overall business strategy, consolidate and reshape the supplier base, and build a high-performing team.

The business operates in the consumer products space and procurement spend is approximately GBP100m per annum. You'll lead a team of circa 20 colleagues. We seek people with experience within a similar-sized operation and from a product-based business, whether that be FMCG, food, drink, or high-volume manufacturing. You'll be an experienced procurement leader, used to leading teams and with a track record of success. You'll enjoy the challenge of driving change and be well-versed in switching from being strategic to rolling up your sleeves and being hands-on to deliver results.

Due to the volume of applications, we can only respond to successful candidates. Therefore, if we do not make contact within 5 working days, this means your application was not successful. We are more than happy to discuss why if you would like to contact us.
