Your new company
Join a global FMCG organisation with a strong presence across Europe, where sustainability is embedded in everything they do - from supporting ethical farming practices to ensuring their products are recyclable and environmentally responsible. You will be leading procurement operations for their UK division.
Your new role
As Junior Procurement Manager, you will oversee a range of indirect procurement categories, including Facilities Management (FM), IT, Finance, and Customer Services for the UK business. You will act as the primary procurement contact for the UK's flagship store, ensuring smooth and efficient operations. You will manage your own categories end-to-end, with guidance available from the Senior Procurement Manager when needed. While legal support is available, you will be expected to identify and escalate any legal risks within contracts you negotiate.What you'll need to succeed
You should be an experienced procurement professional with a proven track record of independently managing indirect categories. Experience in FM or IT procurement is advantageous but not essential. Strong communication skills are key, as you will be responsible for stakeholder engagement at the flagship store. While legal expertise is not required, the ability to identify contractual risks independently is essential to succeed in this role.What you'll get in return

• Competitive base salary of up to £50,000 per annum
• 10% discretionary bonus
• 25 days annual leave
• Private medical insurance
• Flexible working arrangements, including the opportunity to work from anywhere in the world for a limited period (subject to prior approval)
