Job Title: Raw Materials Procurement Specialist

About the Role:

We are seeking a highly skilled Raw Materials Procurement Specialist to join our team at Anderson Knight. As a key member of our operations, you will be responsible for ensuring the safe, legal, authentic, and high-quality raw materials necessary for the production of our clients' products.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Raw Material Specifications:
    • Reviewing and approving all raw material specifications within the Ideagen/QADEX database, aiming for gold standard content.
    • Using key information from approved specifications and main contacts at suppliers, supporting and advising sites on any raw material concessions and shelf-life extensions.
  • Risk Assessments:
    • Polluting raw material risk assessment results in a high-risk rating, these results must be integrated into the supplier risk assessment scoring, which may further impact the overall supplier audit requirements.
    • Completion of VACCP risk assessments should follow procedural frequency, with outcomes fed into raw material and supplier risk assessments.
    • Ensure compliance with customer-specific risk assessment criteria. Using knowledge from risk assessment outcomes and RASFF trends, create a suitably robust, dynamic, risk-based raw material testing schedule to ensure tighter controls and enhanced due diligence.
  • Group Technical Systems/Process Monitoring:
    • Track and report performance of the raw material specification review process.
    • Monitor and trend weekly RASFF alerts, escalating any alerts relevant to our raw materials or countries of origin, along with any new emerging trends. Ensure appropriate due diligence for identified trends.
    • Maintain general housekeeping and system cleansing (e.g., archiving, delisting). Work with systems controllers to ensure any issues are raised and resolved.

Requirements:

  • A food science-based degree qualification or similar, or 5+ years of food manufacturing experience (including a food safety certification).
  • Experience in using a risk assessment-based approach.
  • Proven track record and detailed knowledge of key raw materials.
  • Food law awareness.
  • Allergen awareness.
  • VACCP knowledge/experience.
  • Excellent communication and written skills.
  • Computer literate (including Excel, spreadsheets, working with volumes and percentages).
  • Ability to operate on your own initiative and as part of a team.
  • Good time management skills.
  • Excellent attention to detail.
