Inclusive Procurement Manager

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 team will play a leading role in driving and facilitating the company’s strategic ambition, embracing innovative solutions to unlock the potential of our host communities and requires a visionary and strategic response to ensure success in an environment that is increasingly complex.
