Do you approach procurement with a curious and inquisitive nature

In this pivotal role, you'll be a  natural at building strong supplier relationships to keep everything running smoothly, helping support our growth trajectory. You’ll always be looking for smarter ways to source and manage materials, proactive in your approach and not afraid to push back when needed.

Customer focussed with supplier, print/packaging and inventory management experience, you'll have a project management mindset, as you take the lead in controlling the spend within finished goods components, labels, secondary packaging and sub con suppliers.

As you lead day-to-day procurement activities, you’ll ensure timely and accurate supply of raw materials and packaging components, aligned with production schedules and safety stock levels. You’ll take ownership of procurement processes, adopt a strategic approach, and work closely with NPD on packaging projects to embed procurement into development stages.

As an effective communicator, you’ll have gravitas as you work closely with suppliers, Purchasing Coordinators, and internal teams including Quality, Production, and Finance to deliver operational excellence and continuous improvement.

We’ll give you the support and autonomy to do what you do well in our beautifully unique environment.
