Newly created role within a growing manufacturing facility

Your new company

Our client is a household name in the consumer manufacturing sector. Known for its commitment to sustainability, innovation, and operational excellence, the company operates in a highly automated and digitally advanced environment. This role supports a key US site and offers the opportunity to influence procurement strategy and team development within a dynamic and growth-oriented organization.

Your new role

As the Head of Procurement, you will be responsible for establishing and leading the site’s procurement function from the ground up. Reporting to the General Manager, you will oversee a team and play a pivotal role in shaping sourcing strategy, building supplier relationships, and driving operational efficiency. This is a rare opportunity to influence the setup of procurement systems and processes in a cutting-edge manufacturing environment. You’ll be responsible for building systems, processes, and partnerships that support the site’s long-term success.

What you'll need to succeed

  • 10+ years of broad procurement experience, with at least 5 years in a people leadership role at the Director level
  • Proven success in manufacturing or automated operations environments
  • Experience leading through change, such as scaling, automation, or transformation initiatives
  • Strong strategic sourcing, negotiation, and supplier management capabilities
  • High integrity, analytical thinking, and a collaborative leadership style

What you'll get in return

This role offers more than just a competitive compensation package (including relocation support) — it’s a chance to shape a procurement function within a high-impact, high-visibility environment. A rare opportunity to lead in a greenfield environment, build a team, and influence long-term strategy at a flagship US site. This is a career-defining opportunity for a procurement leader ready to build something lasting.
