Job Description

Procurement Director
 North West England (Site-Based)
 £100,000 – £120,000 + Bonus + Benefits

We are partnering with a high-growth, multi-site manufacturing group to appoint a Procurement Director in a pivotal, business-critical role.

Operating within a complex packaging and print environment, this position offers the opportunity to take full ownership of procurement across multiple operating companies — shaping strategy, driving cost optimisation, and building a best-in-class supply function.

This is a hands-on leadership role suited to someone who can operate both strategically and operationally — leading from the front while embedding structure, governance, and long-term supplier value.

The Role
 Reporting directly to the CEO, you will be responsible for developing and implementing a group-wide procurement strategy aligned to business growth, operational performance, and margin improvement.

Key areas of focus include:

Full ownership of procurement strategy across a multi-entity manufacturing group
Category leadership across packaging materials including paperboard, plastics, inks, coatings, and print-related inputs
Driving cost reduction, supplier consolidation, and commercial value creation
Building robust, scalable global supply chains, including Far East sourcing
Establishing procurement governance, processes, and performance frameworks
Enhancing supplier performance through structured SRM, KPIs, and audit processes
Supporting operational efficiency across production, inventory, and planning functions
Leading sustainability initiatives, including responsible sourcing and material innovation
Reducing supply chain risk through diversification and strategic sourcing models
The Candidate
 We are seeking a commercially astute Procurement leader with a strong track record in manufacturing or packaging-led environments.

You will bring:

Significant procurement leadership experience within multi-site manufacturing
Deep category knowledge across packaging, raw materials, or print-related supply chains
Proven success delivering cost savings, supplier strategy, and procurement transformation
Experience operating in complex, fast-paced environments with multiple stakeholders
Strong negotiation capability across both regional and global supply bases
The ability to balance strategic direction with hands-on delivery
Exposure to Pharma packaging, regulated environments, or high-specification manufacturing would be advantageous.

Why Apply?

High-impact role with full ownership of procurement across a growing group
Opportunity to build and shape procurement strategy from the ground up
Direct influence at executive level, working closely with senior leadership
VC-backed environment with a clear focus on growth and value creation
Strong salary package with performance-related upside
This is a rare opportunity to step into a role where you can genuinely shape procurement strategy and deliver measurable commercial impact across a complex manufacturing business
