 Procurement Director &ndash; Food Manufacturing
 
 
 
 
 Dallas, TX | $170k&ndash;$200k + ~25% bonus
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Most procurement roles talk about influence.
 
 
 This one is about
 
 impact
 
 .
 
 
 
 
 
 A Dallas-based food manufacturer is on a genuine
 
 modernisation and scaling journey
 
 . They&rsquo;re investing in operations, tightening up processes, and building the capabilities needed for the next stage of growth.
 
 
 
 
 
 One area ready for transformation?
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Procurement.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Right now, purchasing works &mdash; but it works in a very &ldquo;traditional&rdquo; way: reactive, relationship-led, and focused on getting things done in the moment. What the business needs next is someone who can
 
 bring structure, education, and a more strategic mindset
 
 to how they buy.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 What you&rsquo;ll shape
 
 
 
 You&rsquo;ll take ownership of procurement across:
 
 <ul>
 <li>
 Ingredients &amp; raw materials
 </li>
 <li>
 Packaging (film, corrugate, printed)
 </li>
 <li>
 Indirects (uniforms, PPE, consumables)
 </li>
 <li>
 Support for CapEx and equipment purchasing
 </li>
 </ul>
 
 
 
 
 The goal isn&rsquo;t to fix something broken &mdash; it&rsquo;s to
 
 elevate
 
 it.
 
 
 
 
 
 You&rsquo;ll help the business understand how modern procurement unlocks cost, service, and scale. You&rsquo;ll bring in the processes, tools, and supplier discipline that the organisation simply hasn&rsquo;t had exposure to yet.
 
 
 
 
 
 This is about guiding a business &mdash; and its people &mdash; through a step-change in capability.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 The mandate
 
 
 <ul>
 <li>
 Modernise procurement processes and introduce standards
 </li>
 <li>
 Lead the organisation on what &ldquo;good&rdquo; looks like
 </li>
 <li>
 Drive cost savings, resilience, and supplier performance
 </li>
 <li>
 Build stronger cross-functional alignment with Ops, Quality, Finance, and Supply Chain
 </li>
 <li>
 Educate and influence the wider business to drive smarter buying
 </li>
 <li>
 Position procurement as a strategic partner, not a transactional function
 </li>
 <li>
 Build a procurement function that is set to scale with the business at pace
 </li>
 </ul>
 
 
 
 
 You&rsquo;re not inheriting a mess &mdash; you&rsquo;re
 
 building a maturity curve
 
 .
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Who they need
 
 
 
 Someone who:
 
 <ul>
 <li>
 Comes from food manufacturing (frozen a plus)
 </li>
 <li>
 Has deep experience in ingredients + packaging procurement
 </li>
 <li>
 Enjoys bringing teams on a journey, not dictating from above, hands on approach
 </li>
 <li>
 Knows how to implement process without killing agility
 </li>
 <li>
 Is commercially sharp, influential, and hands-on
 </li>
 <li>
 Thrives in environments that are scaling and evolving - any PE experience is advantagous.
 </li>
 </ul>
 
 
 
 
 
 What&rsquo;s on offer
 
 
 <ul>
 <li>
 
 $170k&ndash;$200k base
 
 </li>
 <li>
 
 ~25% bonus
 
 </li>
 <li>
 A seat at the table as the organisation grows
 </li>
 <li>
 The chance to design, shape, and elevate a core business function
 </li>
 </ul>
 
 
 
 
 If you want to lead a transformation rather than inherit someone else&rsquo;s work, this is the opportunity.
