    • Build and maintain strong supplier partnerships to ensure consistent quality, service, and innovation
    • Lead commercial negotiations and contractual agreements, ensuring alignment with internal policies and compliance standards
    • Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams including R&D, Manufacturing, Quality, Finance, and Global Procurement
    • Monitor external market trends and geopolitical developments to proactively manage supply risks and opportunities
    • Drive sustainability initiatives and ethical sourcing practices within the category

    About You:

    • A minimum of 5 years' procurement experience, ideally within the FMCG, manufacturing, or related sectors
    • Proven expertise in managing Direct Materials categories (e.g. ingredients, packaging, raw inputs)
    • Demonstrated experience in developing and executing category strategies
    • Strong understanding of supplier relationship and lifecycle management
    • Excellent stakeholder engagement, communication, and influencing skills
    • Commercially astute, data-driven, and strategic in approach
    • Degree-qualified in Supply Chain, Business, Engineering, or a related discipline (CIPS certification is an advantage)
