The role

Why hiring a procurement and supply manager calls for a dedicated process

Procurement can represent most of a manufacturer's costs. The procurement manager negotiates raw materials, packaging, services and capital purchases, develops suppliers and protects the company from shortages and price swings.

In agribusiness-related chains, many raw materials are commodities or imported, with currency and seasonality effects. We search for professionals with experience in strategic sourcing, long-term contracts and supply risk management.
