About the Role:

Join us as a General Procurement Buyer, where you’ll take ownership of the Indirect category, with the flexibility to support other areas of General Procurement as needed. You’ll be a key partner to stakeholders across the UK&I region, leading strategic sourcing initiatives and bringing Group Procurement strategies to life—translating global priorities into local execution.

This is a great opportunity to influence how we build partnerships with suppliers, manage spend, and align procurement activities with business needs. From vendor strategy to contract negotiation and performance management, you’ll play an integral part in delivering value and compliance across a fast-moving commercial environment.

If you're ready to drive impact in a high-performing, collaborative procurement team, we’d love to hear from you.

Main Responsibilities:

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.

About You:

You’ll need a solid track record of managing contracts and running tenders end-to-end, from preparing documentation and briefing suppliers to negotiating and awarding. Hands on experience with SAP and proficiency using Microsoft tools, such as Excel and PowerPoint, will also be a distinct advantage.

You know how to turn insights into strategy, with expertise in sourcing, supplier relationship management, and implementing procurement systems. You're confident leading complex projects and have a deep understanding of procurement processes.

Strong communication and presentation skills are a must, along with the ability to influence across a global organisation. You lead with purpose, delegate effectively, and build trusted networks with ease.

We’re seeking a proactive, results-driven team player who is customer-focused, analytical, and thrives in fast-paced environments. With sharp commercial instincts and a growth mindset, you’re always ready to innovate and elevate performance—for yourself and those around you.
