Job description

Are you a hands-on procurement professional based in the UK, looking for a role where you can help build a supply chain function from the ground up within a fast-growing international FMCG business? We are looking for a Junior Buyer / Procurement Officer on behalf of our client, the UK subsidiary of a global food brand expanding rapidly across Europe.


Key Responsibilities

Intercompany Procurement

  • Own the purchasing process for all product orders placed with the manufacturing entity overseas, in line with global supply agreements, HQ allocation decisions, and supply chain planning requirements
  • Ensure orders are placed accurately, on time, and within agreed commercial and operational parameters
  • Monitor supply risks and take proactive steps to prevent order or delivery failures

Purchase Order Process and ERP Administration

  • Drive the full procurement cycle from order creation through to receipt and confirmation, maintaining accurate and up-to-date records in SAP at every stage
  • Issue purchase orders, verify order details, and ensure all documentation is complete and correct
  • Maintain a clear and reliable audit trail of procurement activity

Cross-Functional Coordination

  • Act as an independent point of contact for internal teams, including sales, logistics, and finance, providing objective updates, flagging issues, and keeping procurement activity aligned with business needs
  • Communicate proactively with the sales team to keep the ordering process optimised around commercial priorities
  • Coordinate with logistics on import clearances and inbound shipment tracking

Supply Chain Process Development

  • Support the setup and formalisation of SCM processes within the UK entity, in line with the existing global framework
  • Identify areas where process improvements or better documentation can reduce risk or increase efficiency
  • Work closely with the Supply Chain Lead, based in the Netherlands, to ensure the procurement function scales as the business grows


Qualifications & Skills

  • Professional fluency in English, written and spoken
  • 3 to 4 years of hands-on experience in a buying or procurement role
  • Proven working knowledge of SAP for order management and documentation
  • Comfortable working 5 days onsite in the office
  • Strong Microsoft Office skills, particularly Excel
  • Solid data entry accuracy and attention to detail for managing order records
  • Comfortable operating independently within a small, lean team where processes are still being built
  • Confident communicator able to coordinate across sales, finance, and logistics on your own initiative
  • Familiarity with intercompany or international supply chain processes, including import clearances and direct-from-manufacturer flows, is an advantage
  • Prior experience in an overseas subsidiary reporting into a head office in a different country is a meaningful advantage


What We Offer

  • Salary range of GBP 33,000 to GBP 41,000 gross per year, depending on experience
  • 25 days of annual leave per year, in addition to UK bank holidays
  • Pension plan with 5% employer contribution and a minimum 3% employee contribution
  • Monthly wellbeing allowance of GBP 50 toward fitness, sport, or yoga
  • Life insurance
  • Company phone and laptop
  • Fully office-based role, 5 days per week, at the Wimbledon office. Core hours run from an 08:00 to 08:30 start through to around 17:30
  • Permanent contract directly with the client, following a 3-month probationary period
  • Newly created role within a UK entity that is being built from the start, with direct visibility to senior leadership and genuine ownership of how the procurement function takes shape
  • Growth opportunities as the team and business needs expand
  • International, collaborative working environment across the UK and the Netherlands


Interested? Feel free to apply!


Please note that we can only consider applicants who are currently based in the United Kingdom and who will not require visa sponsorship now or in the future.
