They are looking for an experienced professional with expertise in Procurement & Supply Chain ideally from fast growth food brands.

This is a newly created role as part of this organisation’s ongoing evolution and continual improvement. Our client is looking for a hands-on Head of Supply Chain & Procurement to take full ownership of their procurement, logistics, and operations.

This role is perfect for someone who’s not just a strategist but also loves rolling up their sleeves and making things happen.

You’ll be expected to own the Supply Chain Strategy and get stuck-in with end-to-end Procurement Process

1. Take full responsibility for supplier relationships—sourcing, negotiating contracts, SRM and ensuring quality remains consistently high.
2. Adopt a hands-on approach to procurement, working directly with manufacturers, suppliers, and logistics partners to secure the most competitive pricing and favourable terms as the volumes increase.
3. Collaborate closely with suppliers to drive innovation, enhance lead times, and reduce costs wherever feasible.

You’ll take a leadership role in the organisation, helping them to scale for growth

1. Build and refine procurement and operational processes to support our fast-growing business.
2. Ensure products are stocked at the right levels- avoiding overstocking while never running out of key products.
3. Identify opportunities to streamline operations, improve supplier relationships, and increase cost efficiencies.
4. Lead, support, and directly manage the supply chain team—helping them develop and solve real-time challenges.
5. Work side by side with the team, mentoring, coaching, and driving accountability to ensure we’re always improving.
6. Foster a culture of proactive problem-solving and constant optimisation.
7. Use data and insights to refine forecasting, improve efficiencies, and prevent stock issues.
8. Continuously assess and adjust supply chain processes, identifying cost savings and efficiency improvements.

This role will require you to be:

1. A doer – Someone who thrives in hands-on problem-solving and execution.
2. Strong experience in supply chain, procurement, and logistics, ideally in a fast-growing, scale-up environment.
3. A strong negotiator who can negotiate with suppliers while maintaining top quality.
4. A proactive problem-solver who doesn’t wait for issues to arise but anticipates them and acts fast.
5. A leader who is comfortable being in the trenches with the team, leading by example.
6. Experience in inventory planning, logistics, supplier management, and cost optimisation.
