Procurement Manager – Premium Bespoke Meal Manufacturing

We’re working with a premium bespoke meal manufacturing business on a mission to deliver exceptional, made-to-measure nutrition to thousands of customers across London. With a fully tailored approach, every meal plan is designed around each individual’s goals and macro needs — supported by a dedicated in-house nutritionist to ensure clients stay on track to smash their targets.

3. Identify, source, and negotiate with new and existing premium food suppliers to secure the best value without compromising quality
4. Build strong relationships with UK-based suppliers to ensure continuity, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness
5. Analyse and forecast demand, track market trends, and optimise stock levels to support agile production schedules
6. Collaborate closely with the Operations, Finance, and Production teams to ensure smooth integration of procurement with daily operations

What We’re Looking For:

• Proven experience in a Procurement Manager or Senior Buyer role within FMCG, food manufacturing, or fresh food sectors
• Excellent supplier network and deep understanding of food sourcing, supply chain, and price negotiation
• Strategic mindset with the ability to drive cost savings while maintaining product excellence
• Strong communication, analytical, and stakeholder management skills
• A proactive, hands-on approach with the confidence to influence at a senior level

This is a position within a growing business where you influence how the business scales.

If you’re ready to lead from the front and work in a business that’s shaking up the future of food, we’d love to hear from you. Apply now.
