Job Description
Are you a Procurement Manager craving a role where you can truly make a difference? Imagine stepping into a pivotal position within a dynamic, transforming supply chain function in the Sudbury area. We're not just looking for a manager; we're seeking an independent, hands-on leader ready to drive significant impact in an environment that feels less like a corporate giant and more like an agile, growing enterprise.
This is your chance to really shape our procurement future. If you've got deep, practical experience, especially within the food, ingredients, manufacturing, or FMCG sectors, and a knack for building robust supplier relationships while relentlessly focusing on quality, then this is the opportunity you've been waiting for.

Strategic Impact: You'll be at the forefront, crafting and rolling out comprehensive procurement strategies that directly align with our business goals, operational needs, and sustainability commitments - seeing your vision come to life.
Supplier Mastery: From raw materials to packaging and indirect categories, you'll identify, evaluate, and manage suppliers, ensuring top-tier quality, seamless continuity, and smart cost-effectiveness.
Operational Excellence: Take charge of raw material planning and call-offs, expertly balancing availability with inventory control to keep our production flowing smoothly and efficiently.
Leadership in Action: You'll oversee tendering processes, expertly negotiate contracts, and seamlessly onboard new suppliers, becoming the go-to expert in these critical areas.
Relationship Building: Forge and maintain strong, collaborative connections with our key suppliers and service providers, driving continuous improvement and sparking innovation.
Team Development: Lead, mentor, and develop a Procurement Specialist, fostering a culture of accountability and continuous learning within your team.
Who We're Looking For:
CIPS qualified (minimum Level 5) is non-negotiable - your foundation is solid.
Substantial experience in a procurement leadership role, specifically within the food, ingredients, manufacturing, or FMCG sectors.
A proven track record of successfully developing and executing procurement strategies.
Demonstrated experience in leading and developing high-performing teams.
Exceptional negotiation and supplier relationship management skills.
The ability to expertly manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment - you thrive under pressure.
Commercially astute with excellent analytical and financial skills.
Self-motivated, hands-on, and results-oriented with a genuinely proactive mindset.
Position Details:
Location: Sudbury area
Salary: £50,000
Working Pattern: Monday - Friday, 8 AM - 5 PM
If you're a strategic thinker who loves to influence stakeholders, drive positive change, and are ready to make a significant, tangible impact within a growing procurement function, we genuinely want to hear from you.
