AGRANA Fruit is the global market leader in the production of fruit preparations, operating at 26 production sites on 6 continents worldwide. We offer a wide range of creative and innovative solutions for the food and beverage industry. Our fruit solutions deliver high-quality fruit, which is expertly prepared to be used in the dairy, ice cream, bakery, food service and beverage industries. AGRANA Fruit’s product development work incorporates the latest global nutritional and health trends.

AGRANA Fruit is looking for a Procurement Specialist to join our Procurement team and help shape the future of our material sourcing.

This is a hybrid role that combines strategic sourcing and supplier management with hands-on procurement and supply planning. You'll work closely with the Head of Procurement and cross-functional teams to identify recent suppliers, mitigate supply risk, unlock value and support product development, while ensuring the day-to-day needs of your designated category are effectively managed.

Key responsibilities

- Lead strategic sourcing across our direct materials, identifying and qualifying new suppliers, running tenders and building a resilient, diversified supply base.

- Identify and manage supply risks, from single-origin exposure through to lead-time volatility and supplier dependency.

- Negotiate pricing, commercial terms and multi-period agreements to protect margin and secure reliable supply.

- Deliver value beyond price through specification optimisation, supplier-led innovation and cost-down initiatives.

- Partner with R&D;, Technical and Operations to support new product development and supplier innovation.





- Support day-to-day procurement and supply planning for a designated category, including raising and managing purchase orders.

- Build and maintain strong supplier relationships and ensure effective supply continuity.

- Monitor inventory coverage and help maintain efficient stock levels without unnecessary working capital.

- Turn spend, supplier and market data into meaningful commercial decisions.

- Develop reporting and insights across savings, inventory coverage and supplier performance.

- Benchmark our pricing, suppliers and procurement processes against the external market.

- Identify opportunities for continuous improvement and help build a more mature, benchmark-led procurement function.

About You

- A structured problem-solver who instinctively asks why and digs to root cause rather than treating symptoms

- Strong negotiation and data analysis capability and comfortable living in the numbers and using them to influence

- Someone who is energised by a varied, fast-moving environment where no two days look the same, and who moves fluidly between strategic thinking and hands-on execution

- A continuous-improvement mindset and the drive to help build something better, not just run what exists

Why Join AGRANA Fruit?

At AGRANA Fruit, we are proud of our collaborative culture and our commitment to delivering high-quality fruit solutions to customers around the world. You will be joining a supportive team where your expertise will help shape the way we work and improve how our business operates.

If you're ready to take ownership, challenge the status quo and create meaningful commercial value, we'd love to hear from you.
