This is a senior, high‑impact leadership role that blends retail commercial expertise with strategic procurement capability.

Job Responsibility:

  • Lead and deliver Foodbuy’s retail commercial and procurement strategy
  • Translate scale, data and supplier capability into meaningful commercial outcomes for clients
  • Shape and deliver a market‑leading retail proposition across impulse categories
  • Build and strengthen strategic partnerships with major FMCG brands and wholesale partners
  • Drive responsible sourcing, innovation and insight‑led category development
  • Collaborate across internal teams to maximise Foodbuy’s full commercial capability
  • Represent Foodbuy credibly with senior stakeholders, clients and suppliers
  • Build, mentor and develop a high‑performing retail commercial team

Requirements:

  • Senior commercial leadership within retail, impulse or food‑to‑go environments
  • Strong background in procurement, buying or category management
  • Proven success negotiating with major FMCG manufacturers and wholesalers
  • Deep understanding of pricing, promotions, range optimisation and retail execution
  • Strong strategic judgement, analytical capability and commercial acumen
  • A track record of building and leading high‑performing teams

Nice to have:

  • Exposure to GPOs, buying groups or multi‑client environments
  • Experience across hospitality, convenience or workplace retail
  • Understanding of sustainability, ESG and evolving consumer trends
