Job description
Indirect Procurement Manager (Opex & Capex)


Full-Time | Permanent | Multi-Site Responsibility Competitive Salary + Benefits

This role is initially for a 3-6 month contract. However, it might become longer / permanent for the right person.


We’re partnering with a leading organisation to recruit a hands-on, commercially driven Indirect Procurement Manager with a strong background in CapEx procurement and experience managing a team. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in dynamic environments, enjoys both strategic and operational procurement, and is motivated by delivering measurable value across technical categories.

This position offers the opportunity to take ownership of all indirect procurement activities across multiple sites, covering Opex and Capex spend including processing equipment, utilities, civil works, and MRO.


About the Role


This is a true end-to-end procurement role. You will lead strategic sourcing initiatives while also managing day-to-day operational activities such as creating purchase orders, validating invoices, and overseeing Procure-to-Pay processes.

You’ll work closely with engineering, operations, project teams, and category managers to align sourcing strategies with business objectives and project timelines. The role also includes leading and developing a team of buyers, fostering a high-performance culture built on coaching, collaboration, and accountability.

Industry experience in food processing or pharmaceuticals is strongly preferred.


Key Responsibilities

  • Represent procurement across local sites, promoting best practices and demonstrating value across technical and non-technical spend.

  • Lead, coach, and develop a team of buyers; set clear objectives and drive a collaborative, high-performance culture.

  • Manage all indirect technical spend, including Opex and Capex categories such as processing equipment, utilities, civil works, and MRO.

  • Deliver savings, from spot-buy reduction to long-term strategic sourcing initiatives.

  • Develop and execute sourcing strategies aligned with cost, technology, and supplier performance goals.

  • Lead CapEx sourcing activities, including RFI/RFP processes, supplier evaluation, cost analysis, and long-range planning.

  • Collaborate with engineering and project teams to optimise specifications and ensure alignment with operational requirements.

  • Manage medium-to-complex sourcing projects, ensuring timely delivery and alignment with business needs.

  • Standardise procurement processes, negotiate supply agreements, and support capital budgeting.

  • Negotiate commercial terms and manage supplier contracts.

  • Develop and monitor the local savings program, ensuring alignment with financial targets.

  • Track procurement KPIs, manage supplier relationships, and identify opportunities for cost optimisation and risk mitigation.

  • Ensure compliance with procurement policies, internal controls, and sustainability objectives.

  • Stay informed on market trends and supplier innovations to enhance sourcing strategies.

  • Build strong stakeholder relationships, acting as a strategic partner and enabling solutions that support business objectives.

Candidate Profile


We’re looking for someone who is:

  • Highly experienced in CapEx procurement — this is essential.

  • Comfortable managing a team of direct reports and driving performance.

  • Hands-on, proactive, and motivated with a “can-do” attitude.

  • Skilled at balancing strategic sourcing with operational procurement tasks.

  • Strong at prioritising in fast-paced, high-pressure environments.

  • Confident communicating across all levels of an organisation.

  • Able to build strong internal and external relationships.

  • Comfortable navigating environments that may not be fully structured.

  • Capable of seeing the bigger picture while managing detailed execution.

Experience & Skills Required

  • 7–10 years’ experience in procurement or strategic sourcing, with strong exposure to indirect technical categories (CapEx, MRO, utilities, civil works).

  • Strong CapEx procurement background is mandatory.

  • Experience managing a procurement team or direct reports.

  • Proven experience in supplier negotiations, contract management, and multi-site or matrixed operations.

  • Experience with capital equipment procurement, RFI/RFP processes, cost analysis, and supplier evaluation.

  • Industry experience in food processing or pharmaceuticals is preferred.

  • Solid understanding of procurement processes and total cost of ownership.

  • Familiarity with digital procurement tools such as Coupa, Maximo, or SAP.

  • Strong project management skills and ability to manage multiple complex projects.

  • Excellent negotiation, communication, and stakeholder engagement skills.

  • Fluency in English and proficiency in local language(s).

Additional Information

  • Multi-site responsibility across local plants.

  • Travel required on an ad-hoc basis

This is a full time role for 3 – 6 months. The position may become longer / become permanent for the right person.
