The Procurement Manager ensures apetito has a clear strategy for purchasing raw materials and packaging.

You will be responsible for managing a spend of approximately £13m per annum across key food categories within a fast paced, high volume manufacturing environment.

Provide regular market analysis and cost benchmarking to support decision making and risk management
Support development and innovation teams by sourcing new ingredients
Deliver forecasting and budgeting inputs including volume and pricing assumptions

Compliance to Procurement policies and procedures.

About you:

Essential:

Proven procurement experience, ideally in a food manufacturing environment
Strong negotiation and supplier management skills
Experience of delivering tangible cost savings and managing risk
Ability to interpret market data and develop concise category strategies
Impactful and adaptable negotiator capable of influencing stakeholders and decision makers
Working knowledge of food safety, quality and supply chain compliance
An advocate for sustainable sourcing practices
Effective and adaptable communicator
Strong interpersonal and relationship building skills
Resilient and persistent
Act at pace and meet deadlines
Strong organisation skills- capable of initiating, prioritising and managing several projects simultaneously

Desirable:

Ability to use SAP effectively
Full UK driving Licence
Chartered Institute of Purchasing and Supply (CIPS) membership or additional relevant postgraduate qualification

Company Benefits:

Competitive salary – accredited Living Wage employer
25 days holiday per year, plus bank holidays
Option to purchase up to 5 additional days holiday per year
Discretionary annual bonus scheme
Pension scheme - employer matched contributions up to 4%
Life assurance scheme worth at least 1x annual salary
