Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa Anglo American Full time

Company Description

Anglo American's purpose is to reimagine mining to improve people's lives and is committed to creating a Living Mine that brings positive value to the people and environment where we operate.


Supply Chain is positioning itself for the future by becoming more purpose-driven in aid of realizing the Anglo-American purpose and driving to be more agile and resilient.

Central to being more purpose-driven is delivering significantly more positive impact within our host communities, acting as supplier interface to provide velocity to our innovation, technical & sustainability change programme that includes improved safety performance and the embedment of circular economy principles, as well as overall delivery of significantly more sustainable value.

To build a more agile and resilient Supply Chain the commoditized execution and digitalization of processes is a key focus whilst driving operational excellence.


The repositioning of Supply Chain aims to deliver a strategic commercial front-end that will take the lead in delivering sustainable value to the business.

The focus of the global commercial teams (Directs & Indirects) will be on key strategic supplier partnerships, supplier innovation to address technical and sustainability business challenges/opportunities and associated global framework agreements.

To create sustainable value, value creation strategies will integrate more traditional commercial value levers with broader technical, safety and sustainability elements that enable the Living Mine.

Key sustainability elements include communities, circular economy, carbon neutrality, waterless-mining, and the commitment to sourcing responsibly
