Champion sustainability and ethical sourcing initiatives that support corporate responsibility goals.
Ensure robust due diligence and best practice throughout the supply chain, maintaining compliance with health, safety, quality and sustainability requirements.
Coach, mentor and develop Category Managers, strengthening commercial capability and strategic procurement expertise across the team.

What's in it for you

Free day passes and access to leisure facilities (including the spa)
Discounts on breaks and in our shops and restaurants
Bonus scheme and recognition rewards
A supportive, friendly team
Career development and in-role training
