 Procurement Manager / Director &ndash; Food Manufacturing
 
 
 
 
 PA | Circa ~$200k + Bonus |
 
 
 
 
 
 
 You know that moment when a business finally decides procurement
 
 matters
 
 ?
 
 
 This is that moment.
 
 
 
 
 
 A ~mid-market food manufacturer with has been acquired, and the new ownership wants procurement to step out of the &ldquo;reactive buying&rdquo; shadow and into the &ldquo;value creation&rdquo; spotlight.
 
 
 
 
 
 They need someone
 
 smart, credible, commercially sharp
 
 &mdash; ideally with food manufacturing experience and bonus points for PE exposure. Someone who knows how to tidy up spend, build structure, and deliver savings without making a song and dance about it.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 What&rsquo;s on the table?
 
 
 
 A clean runway.
 
 
 A supportive CFO.
 
 
 A flat, grounded culture with zero time for ego.
 
 
 And a procurement function that&rsquo;s ready &mdash; for a leader who can modernise it.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 What you&rsquo;ll actually do
 
 
 <ul>
 <li>
 Build proper sourcing discipline (finally).
 </li>
 <li>
 Bring visibility to spend, suppliers, and risk.
 </li>
 <li>
 Negotiate smarter, not louder.
 </li>
 <li>
 Reduce costs without reducing quality.
 </li>
 <li>
 Turn procurement into a function the business trusts &mdash; not tolerates.
 </li>
 </ul>
 
 
 
 
 
 Who this suits
 
 
 
 A Manager or Director in
 
 food/CPG manufacturing
 
 who&rsquo;s been thinking....
 
 
 
 
 <ul>
 <li>
 
 &ldquo;If someone just gave me the keys, I could build something better.&rdquo;
 
 </li>
 </ul>
 
 
 
 <ul>
 <li>
 Someone who can influence in a down-to-earth, PE-backed environment.
 </li>
 <li>
 Someone who gets things done without relying on hierarchy or theatrics.
 </li>
 <li>
 Someone who enjoys being hands-on and strategic in the same afternoon.
 </li>
 </ul>
 
 
 
 
 
 Why it&rsquo;s worth a conversation
 
 
 
 Because roles where you can
 
 set the direction, build the function, and see your work in the numbers
 
 don&rsquo;t come around often.
 
 
 
 
 
 Especially not in a business this size, with ownership this supportive, and a CFO who actually wants procurement at the table.
