Procurement Transformation Director
Your Consultant
A market leading, globally recognised B2C consumer organisation is entering a significant phase of transformation across its procurement function. As part of a broader divisional evolution, we are supporting the confidential search for a Procurement Transformation Director to shape the next 3 to 5 year strategy and lead a newly structured, high impact team.
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.
