You’ll take the lead in your assigned procurement categories—analysing supplier capabilities, cost structures, and market trends to shape sourcing strategies that meet Ferrero’s commercial and strategic objectives. Working in partnership with the Procurement Manager, you’ll drive initiatives that deliver value across the short, medium, and long term, ensuring alignment with UK Procurement Procedures and internal policies.
Your responsibilities will include managing supplier performance through detailed scorecards, structured reviews, and service-level agreements. You’ll work across departments to ensure quality, timeliness, flexibility, and cost-efficiency in every supplier relationship. In parallel, you’ll lead the end-to-end sourcing process—from preparing tenders and briefing suppliers to negotiating and awarding contracts, ensuring clarity and accountability every step of the way.
In addition to your strategic work, you’ll support supplier onboarding, purchase order (PO) processes, and claims resolution. Whether it’s managing system compliance, engaging with global teams, or supporting invoice reconciliations, you’ll ensure accuracy, consistency, and clarity across all procurement activities.
