Procurement & Supply Chain Manager FMCG Derby 5 days onsite £45-55k DOE Would you enjoy setting up a procurement function from scratch? Do you have strong experience in supplier and contract management? I'm exclusively supporting an FMCG business based in Derby to recruit a Procurement & Supply Chain Manager. This is a brand-new role for the company so you'll have full autonomy in driving and implementing procurement improvements. They're a successful family-run SME, so you'll be working alongside a close-knit team that are passionate about their product and all pull together in the same direction. You'll also have access to their flex-hours policy. So, if you're someone who has school drop-offs/pick-ups for example, you'll have the flexibility to complete the required hours around your home life. Day to day you'd be involved in: Managing circa £30m spend across goods and services. Reviewing and negotiating contracts. Analysing supplier performance and market research. Centralising the procurement function. Supplier relationship management. Assisting with forecast and planning supply requirements. Requirements: Contract management and negotiation skills. As you'll be setting up the function from scratch, you'll need to be someone who isn't afraid to ask questions. Stakeholder management skills will be vital, but having the confidence and drive to be inquisitive and find out information from all areas of the business is important. Having exposure to an ERP system implementation is a bonus, but not essential. Competency using MS Excel will be needed. Ideally, you'll have come from an FMCG/distribution background. That being said, we're open to receiving applications from similar fast-paced environments. To find out more, please apply via this ad. If you'd rather have an initial chat first, that's fine contact Chris Adams at Distinct Recruitment. We look forward to hearing from you. Distinct Recruitment Privacy Policy
