Description:

Build your procurement career in a role with genuine room to grow

Top Cut Foods is looking for a motivated and commercially minded Procurement Officer to join our team.

This is an excellent opportunity for an early-career procurement professional who enjoys the hands-on side of purchasing but wants to develop into strategic sourcing, supplier negotiation and category management.

You’ll take responsibility for procurement activities across direct materials, while also gaining exposure to indirect procurement and protein categories.

The role will initially combine operational purchasing and procurement administration with commercial and strategic activities. As your experience and capability grow, so will your level of category ownership and influence.

What you'll be doing

Manage day-to-day purchasing and procurement activities across dry goods and assigned categories.

Raise and manage purchase orders and follow up suppliers to ensure continuity of supply.

Monitor pricing, availability, lead times and supplier performance.

Maintain accurate supplier, pricing and procurement information.

Compare supplier quotations and identify commercial opportunities.

Develop strong working relationships with key suppliers.

Support procurement activities across selected protein and indirect categories.

Participate in RFQs, tenders and supplier sourcing activities.

Support and progressively lead supplier negotiations.

Analyse spend,



pricing and market movements to identify opportunities.

Identify cost-saving and cost-avoidance opportunities.

Support supplier performance reviews and procurement KPIs.

Work closely with Production, Operations, Sales, Quality and Finance.

Support the Head of Procurement in developing sourcing and category strategies.

Take increasing ownership of suppliers and categories as your capability develops.

What we're looking for

You’ll ideally have 2–3 years of experience in procurement, purchasing, supply chain or a similar commercial environment.

Experience in food manufacturing, FMCG, meat or protein would be highly regarded, but it isn't essential. More important is your ability to think commercially, work with data and suppliers, and your ambition to develop beyond transactional purchasing.

You'll also bring:

Strong Excel and analytical skills.

Good commercial and numerical capability.

Excellent attention to detail.

Solid organisation and time-management skills.

Confidence communicating and building relationships with suppliers.

A proactive, problem-solving mindset.

An interest in markets, pricing and commercial negotiations.

The ability to work effectively in a fast-paced environment.

Qualifications in Procurement, Supply Chain, Business or Commerce are advantageous but not essential.

Why join Top Cut Foods?

This isn't intended to be a role where you simply process purchase orders.

You'll have the opportunity to learn the commercial side of procurement, understand commodity and supplier markets, participate in negotiations and sourcing projects, and progressively take ownership of categories.

For the right person, this role provides a genuine development pathway:

If you're looking for an opportunity to build strong procurement foundations while developing into a strategic procurement professional, we'd like to hear from you.
