Our client is a household-name consumer product business with an existing global team of 40 Procurement professionals (at least 30 of which work out of their HQ in Cork). The leadership team are looking to infuse the existing organisation with talent for several different early to mid-level procurement opportunities (across direct, indirect or freight procurement) with a view to those people taking on more senior roles over the coming years. With global leaders sitting in Cork at least 80% of decision-making on a global scale happens here; that means opportunity. Full Stop.

Our remit is to speak with smart and ambitious Procurement professionals, tell the story of this business, introduce them to the team and work with them to shape what their first role might look like. This is a blank canvas for ambitious Procurement professionals to chart their future within a truly global, local team.

For the right people, there’s the opportunity to step up or rotate to another area – both horizontal and vertical progression is on the cards.
The team have a couple of key projects on their radar at the moment too aside from the day to day including continuously looking at sustainable ways of working, long-term capacity planning and building strong relationships both internally and externally with suppliers.
This is your opportunity to work with a 70 billion-dollar business at the centre of decision-making in a structure that could enable you to make a real impact on the future of the Procurement function for this business globally.
