Procurement Manager, Ingredients & Commodities

DSJ Global
London
Are you a procurement professional who thrives on autonomy, complexity, and the thrill of owning your category? We're working with a leading player in the food manufacturing industry to find a Procurement Manager who's ready to take on a high-impact role in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment.

This is not a role for the faint-hearted. It's for someone who's commercially sharp, confident in their decisions, and thrives when given the freedom to run with things. If you're tired of red tape and ready to make a real difference-this could be your next move.

What You'll Be Doing:

  • Own end-to-end procurement for key ingredients categories , supplying multiple UK manufacturing sites
  • Develop and execute category strategies with a strong focus on commodity buying and risk management
  • Collaborate with NPD, planning, and site teams to drive innovation, value engineering, and supply chain improvements
  • Build and manage supplier relationships, ensuring performance, delivery, and cost targets are met
  • Use SAP and Excel to manage contracts, POs, and reporting with precision
What We're Looking For:

  • 4+ years' procurement experience , ideally in food manufacturing or commodities
  • Strong commercial acumen and the confidence to challenge, negotiate, and lead
  • A self-starter who's comfortable with ambiguity and thrives in a fast-moving, entrepreneurial culture
  • Excellent Excel and SAP skills, with a sharp eye for detail
  • Tenacity, resilience, and a collaborative mindset
Why This Role?

  • Join a category-led procurement team with clear ownership and visibility
  • Work across a diverse and dynamic supply base
  • Be part of a business that values initiative, speed, and impact-not just academic credentials
  • Competitive package including bonus and car allowance
If you're ready to step into a role where you'll be trusted to deliver, challenged to grow, and supported by a passionate team-let's talk.
