Head of Procurement | Fresh and Frozen | Norfolk

Salary - to be discussed but dependent on experience

About the Company:-
You will be working with a business who have been pushing the boundaries of Fresh Produce for a long time. Whether that is looking at different uses for products, new markets or improving on traditional channels as well. They have invested heavily in ensuring they remain as a market leading operator and as a result of some internal changes, they now have a need for a Head of Procurement to help them optimise their spend and ensure they remain competitive in an ever changing market.

About the Role:-
You will be developing the procurement strategy for the company and ensuring they are dealing with the right suppliers and the right prices. The company have significant growth aspirations so the plan that you put into place, will need to be adaptable for the changing needs of the business. You will be working closely with all the departments of the business ensuring you understand any constraints that they have but also to look for mutual opportunities to improve. You will be covering all spend across Raw Materials and Packaging for the business.

The Ideal Candidate:-
Previous food buying experience is crucial. Frozen experience would be an advantage, but fundamentally this is going to be about solid procurement capability and understanding strategic planning. The role will still be quite hands on so you will need to be comfortable wearing a range of hats and rolling your sleeves up when needed. You will be managing a small team who will be supporting on some of the more time consuming administration elements as well.
