    About the business

From slow-made cooking bases and soups to natural kitchen essentials, their products are designed to make it easier for people to eat well, every day.

    With B Corp certification and a deep commitment to transparency, sustainability, and real food, they\'re building something meaningful: a business where growth never comes at the expense of values. As they expand into new sites and categories, they\'re looking for exceptional people to help shape the future.

    The Opportunity

    We're searching for a commercially sharp and strategically minded Head of Procurement to lead the sourcing and supply chain function with a core focus on the ingredients and packaging spend.

    This isn't just about purchasing—it's about building long-term partnerships with suppliers who share our ethos, ensuring the highest standards across our portfolio, and fuelling innovation as we scale. You'll play a pivotal role in shaping the brand\'s future, from supplier strategy and cost management to supporting major projects like the launch of a new production site and exciting new product ranges.

    What You'll Do

    • Lead with vision: Develop and implement a long-term procurement strategy aligned with growth, sustainability, and innovation goals.
    • Build partnerships: Identify and nurture strategic supplier relationships, negotiating contracts that balance cost, quality, and long-term value.
    • Drive performance: Define and manage supplier KPIs across quality, service, innovation, and value.
    • Enable growth: Support the setup of our new production site, ensuring supplier readiness and alignment.
    • Fuel innovation: Partner with NPD and EPD teams to deliver sourcing strategies for new and evolving products.
    • Manage risk: Identify and mitigate supply risks during periods of growth and change.
    • Collaborate across teams: Work closely with Finance, Technical, Operations, and Marketing to ensure smooth launches and informed decisions.
    • Lead with care: Mentor and support the Purchasing Administrator, creating a culture of accountability, collaboration, and growth.

    What You'll Bring

    • Proven experience in procurement, ideally in organic, natural, or premium food manufacturing
    • Strong commercial acumen with a track record of successful negotiations and supplier partnerships
    • Experience with KPIs, supplier performance management, and cost forecasting
    • Excellent communicator and relationship-builder
    • Structured, data-informed approach to reporting and decision-making
    • High-growth mindset: agile, entrepreneurial, and process-oriented
    • Passion for organic, sustainable food and a drive to create meaningful impact

    Bonus if you're familiar with Unleashed or Google Workspace tools.

    Why Join

    • Be a core team member driving a high-impact, high-growth part of the business
    • Join a B Corp certified, purpose-led company that's redefining sustainable food
    • Work with a passionate, supportive team in a values-driven environment
    • Competitive salary with performance-based bonus
    • Flexible working culture with strong on-site collaboration
