We are looking for a Category Buyer, get in touch today if you are looking for your next Category Procurement role within an FMCG environment.


My client is a hugely successful, multi-site food manufacturing business. They are now looking for an experienced Category Buyer to work within their central procurement function.


Reporting into the Head of Category and looking after a number of ingredient categories you will work in partnership with key stakeholders, factories, suppliers and customers to accelerate financial delivery, protect the business from risk, and transform supplier led innovation. You’ll have an in-depth understanding of all factory needs working hand in hand with the wider team.


You’ll also be responsible for setting the category strategy based on a full understanding of the business’s needs. Acting as a collaborative partner to the businesses responding to and resolving escalations will be a key part of this role.


To apply you will ideally be a graduate with several years’ experience within ingredients procurement and be looking to take on this big Category Buying role.
