The Global Category teams, including this role, are focused on long term strategic development, big idea generation and bringing in external insight to keep Diageo’s Procurement function on the leading edge. Global Categories must work collaboratively with In-Market teams(including regional Centres of Excellence) to deliver strategies that are future thinking and fit for purpose to move into execution.


The function is focused on driving holistic value, transforming the ESG performance of our end to end supply chain and innovating at scale and with pace. ESG performance is critical to our Spirit of Progress goal achievement.

No dimension is more important than the next – balanced and holistic performance is the key


Success will be delivered by effectively engaging senior internal and external stakeholders to ‘own’ the strategic outcomes and champion them across multiple organisations. It is essential that the role holder networks and influences effectively to make this happen

It is essential that all strategies developed are effectively benchmarked across the external marketplace and utilise a best practice approach to development and subsequent implementation

Leading the identification of business risk, and then effectively managing these, is a critical to success in the highly volatile environment we operate in today


To be successful in this role, you will need:


  • Deep knowledge and experience in logistics &ocean freight procurement
  • Strong academic credentials, preferably a degree and an MBA.
  • Likely to have led a procurement category in an international environment
  • A minimum of ten years of experience with increasing responsibility
  • Strong knowledge of Best-in-Class Procurement practices and ways of working
  • An individual with the broad business acumen and an ability to interact with general management at a senior level is critical.
  • Proven capability to work across the end to end supply chain including Sales& Marketing
  • Ability to execute Pan-regional and global sourcing exercises with multiple business stakeholders with demonstrated ability to deliver holistic value
  • A management style and approach that puts diversity and inclusion at the heart of all interactions
