If you’re an experienced strategic sourcing procurement professional with strong experience spanning utilities and Cap Ex spend this is a great opportunity. My client is a market leading FMCG business supplying into all of the major retailers in the UK. They’ve experienced significant top line and profit growth over the last few years and have a well-respected procurement team in place so it’s a great opportunity to join this progressive, exciting organisation.

You will be educated to degree level (or equivalent) and have previous utilities procurement experience within a large, blue-chip business. A real influencer, you need evidence of exposure to a wide range of categories with a strong track record of results and great people management skills. Your stakeholder management skills will be your key strength with the ability to work in a complex, fast paced business. A true category management approach to procurement is essential.
