I am currently recruiting for a successful FMCG business based in Surrey, near the West Sussex border. They are looking for a Procurement Manager who will be part of the senior management team and report into the MD.

  • Assist with Quality Control and Logistics (importing, customs) and liaise with the in-house logistics team to ensure on-time delivery.
  • Manage customer tenders, keeping Sales & Marketing with relevant pricing and data.
  • Raise formal purchase orders and process all associated admin through our order processing system.
  • Ensure that a full written documentation trail is available, in accordance with company requirements.
  • Work with the Demand Planning Manager & Operations Manager ensuring that we meet our delivery/availability and stock targets.
  • Research, discuss, and introduce new suppliers on a regular basis.
  • Gain a thorough understanding of customers, their brands, and their requirements.


Skills requires:



  • Tenacious with a strong determination to succeed.
  • Strong negotiation and influencing skills.
  • Knowledge of international shipping, duties, and delivery processes would be beneficial.
  • Strong IT skills and equally confident with spreadsheets.
  • A number of years' experience in product buying.


The role is based in the office 4 days per week, with Fridays WFH. The role might suit someone stepping up into this role and looking for career progression.
