bpesearch is delighted to be supporting a highly successful food manufacturing organisation in relation to their search for a Group Procurement Category Manager – Chocolate & Cocoa.


Hybrid working model: 3 days in the London office with occasional travel.


As part of the new structure, and with the creation of a Group Procurement Division (to be based in London), the company is looking for a strong commodities strategic procurement professional to join the team.


Providing strategic support to the Group Chief Procurement Officer in a matrix structure whilst reporting into the Head of Ingredients Procurement, this is a role that requires a strong advocate for procurement and the impact procurement has on the wider business strategy.


In this pivotal role you will:


  • be responsible for defining the strategic direction for your managed categories,
  • leverage Group scale and expertise to generate savings projects and optimise cost structure,
  • need to be hands-on to drive implementation across the Group to ensure savings objectives are achieved,
  • tap into your leadership, collaborative, analytical and quantitative skills, commercial acumen, knowledge of best-in-class procurement processes, (ideally) understanding of CPRM, and agility in order to successfully deliver the objectives of the role, organisation and Group.


Key skills/experience required:


  • Graduate qualification as a minimum; master’s ideal
  • In-depth experience in strategic sourcing of chocolate/cocoa categories
  • Knowledge and experience of world-class category management and sourcing practices from one or several world-class companies
  • Experienced in managing sourcing categories across multiple geographies
  • Strong commercial and business acumen and negotiation skills
  • Strong ability to lead, influence, collaborate, and effectively engage multiple stakeholders
  • Strong analytical and quantitative skills
  • Ability to understand relevant technical aspects of given categories
  • Proactive and action-orientated. Will get into the required level of operational details to deliver business needs. Can make things happen regardless of obstacles
  • Presence to engage effectively with senior supplier stakeholders
  • Proven ability to build strong supplier relationships to achieve business goals
  • Experienced in autonomously managing all procurement aspects of a category


The successful individual will need to demonstrate clear strategic direct procurement experience (6-10 years) gained in a multinational blue-chip setting in order to successfully deliver the objectives of the role.


For the right person, this represents a great opportunity to make a significant contribution to a business with well-loved market-leading household brands, with very real prospects for long-term career advancement.
