2 weeks ago


Cape Town, South Africa LMP RECRUIT Full time

Leading manufacturer of food processing equipment, casings, ingredients and spices are looking for Procurement Manager to head of the division.
- Must have management experience heading up procurement division.
- Extensive raw material buying experience
- Searching for, onboarding and coordinating with vendors and material suppliers.
- Extensively working on contracts with third-party vendors. This includes price negotiations, service level agreements, exception handling and discussing other such matters which need to be covered in the formal contract.
- Procurement managers also need to work on and send out Requests for Proposals (RFPs) for any specific good or service that the company requires. These RFPs are usually very thorough and comprehensive documents that cover every aspect in detail and dont really leave anything to ambiguity.
- Tracking existing contracts and re-negotiating and re-executing them when necessary
- Managing the relationship with active as well as potential vendors. A good procurement manager is expected to have a broad personal network of contacts that can be tapped into to get the best deal for the company.
- Evaluating the various risk aspects when dealing with a vendor also falls under the ambit of a procurement managers responsibilities. It is not just enough to ensure that the inputs are received at the lowest possible cost; ensuring that the supply chain is not vulnerable to shocks is also important.
- The procurement managers might also have to come up with business continuity plans in case of various eventualities. This involves alternate vendor arrangements and sourcing strategies. For example, a political event might disrupt supplies from an overseas contract manufacturer, and affected supplies would then need to be sourced from somewhere else.
- Depending on the size of the company and the department, a procurement manager might also have to supervise and evaluate the work of others in the team.
- The procurement manager, in collaboration with compliance and other departments, is responsible for ensuring that any regulatory lapses do not occur when it comes to procurement.
