This is a hands‑on, detail‑focused role ideal for someone who thrives in a fast‑paced environment, enjoys building great working relationships, and takes pride in getting the details right with ambitions of future growth into Procurement Management. You’ll bring experience from a procurement support role, ideally within a multi‑site hospitality or foodservice environment, and you’ll have a keen eye for detail, organisation and accuracy. You're confident working with systems, particularly Procure Wizard and comfortable handling data, producing reports and meeting tight deadlines. Just as importantly, you're a clear communicator who builds strong, positive relationships with suppliers and internal teams alike. You're proactive, curious and always looking for ways to improve processes, and you're excited about growing and developing within a busy, supportive procurement team.

At Dishoom, we serve up more than just great food - we share stories, culture, and connections across our family of restaurants, delivery kitchens, and our central production and e-commerce business. To keep everything running beautifully behind the scenes, our F&B supply chain needs to be as dependable and high‑quality as our chai.

Sometimes things aren't an exact match. Maybe your skills are awesome, but don't tick every box or the salary needs a little tweak. We're way more interested in finding the right person who can grow with us. So, if this role has your name all over it (or almost!), go ahead and apply!

At Dishoom- everyone is welcome.
