A fantastic opportunity has arisen to join a leading £multi-billion FMCG business as a Procurement Manager, taking strategic ownership of a high-profile area within their global direct materials spend. This position is ideal for candidates with experience managing direct categories who are looking to work in a global, fast-paced environment with significant scope and visibility.
Joining a dynamic procurement function known for its strategic influence and commercial impact, you’ll be instrumental in shaping and delivering sourcing strategies across a multi-million-pound category, working cross-functionally with regional procurement leads, suppliers, R&D, and sustainability teams.

This is a career-defining opportunity within a globally recognised FMCG leader offering long-term development, global category exposure, and a meaningful role in delivering innovation and sustainability goals.
Up to £65,000 base salary + £5,000 car allowance + 10% bonus. Based in West London and offering flexible hybrid working (3x office days per week).
Key Responsibilities:
* Develop and implement global sourcing strategies for a key direct materials category
* Deliver cost optimisation, risk mitigation, and supplier innovation
* Partner with R&D, sustainability, and regional procurement teams to drive alignment and progress key initiatives
* Lead supplier negotiations, contract management, and performance tracking
* Monitor markets, identify trends, and proactively manage category planning and coverage
* Support long-term budgeting and forecasting activity
Experience Sought:
* 4+ years of procurement experience, ideally within direct materials (e.g. packaging, ingredients, raw materials for example etc.)
* FMCG or manufacturing background preferred
* Strategic sourcing and category management capability
* Excellent supplier relationship and negotiation skills
* Analytical mindset with proficiency in Excel and cost modelling
