This will involve skilful negotiations, comprehensive reviews of products and suppliers, as well as proactive sourcing of new products to support the launch of our business and our ongoing success

What you'll be doing :

  • Foster and develop collaborative relationships with suppliers in all food & beverage categories.
  • Manage terms with all key suppliers, using market knowledge to negotiate pricing, MOQ's and processes.
  • Understand and monitor market trends helping the business stay ahead of market movement.

  • Identifying new commercial opportunities & recommending to internal teams.
  • Presenting to senior management for approval and implementation.
  • Managing, maintaining and selecting suppliers and their contract database.
  • Annual audit of processes and income.

What you'll need :

  • Extensive purchasing experience within Food Service, Retail, or Wholesale, showcasing a track record of successful procurement strategies.
  • Proficient in both food and non-food purchasing, demonstrating an understanding of the intricacies of diverse product categories.
  • Confident and articulate negotiator.
  • Arabic speaking will certainly be advantageous.
