Job Search

Our client, a global food manufacturer, is looking for a Procurement Director to lead global procurement strategy for ingredients and raw materials.

QLM is working with a well-known global food manufacturer that continues to scale and modernise its procurement function. As part of that journey, there’s now a need for a Global Procurement Director to lead the General Indirects category — covering everything from facilities, logistics and fleet, to travel, IT, professional services, and more.

This role is ideal for someone who’s not just commercially sharp, but curious — someone who wants to understand how the business works, and where procurement can unlock value beyond just savings. You’ll be responsible for reviewing current sourcing models, identifying opportunities for improvement, and developing smart, flexible strategies that work across both global and local levels.

This position can be based in multiple European locations including UK, Germany, Netherlands, Switzerland or France.
