Procurement Transformation Director

This is a rare opportunity to influence change at scale within a complex, multi-geographical business operating across Europe and beyond.

The Opportunity

This role will sit at the forefront of procurement transformation, partnering with senior stakeholders across markets to:

• Define and deliver a 3+ year procurement strategy aligned to global business priorities
• Lead a recently restructured divisional team, embedding new ways of working and governance
• Drive capability uplift, performance culture and talent development
• Navigate global risk, macroeconomic volatility and sector-specific trends to future-proof the function
• Champion best in class category and commercial excellence across markets
• This is both a strategic and people centric leadership role, balancing transformation delivery with hands on leadership across a high-performing and evolving team.

What We Are Looking For

We are seeking an established procurement leader who can operate confidently within a global, matrix environment.

Essential Experience:

• Background within Beverages (preferred) or wider FMCG, operating in a B2C environment (not B2B focused)
• Experience in a multi-geographical, divisional or global role within a complex organisation
• Recent experience leading teams through change — managing high performers while building and embedding a newly structured team
• Demonstrable experience driving transformation (systems, governance, ways of working, capability uplift)
• Strong commercial acumen with the ability to interpret global macro trends, risk and geopolitical events, translating them into a clear 3+ year procurement roadmap relevant to the consumer sector

This search is being managed confidentially. Further detail on the organisation and structure will be shared with shortlisted candidates.
