The posting

This is what you'll actually do! As an NPD Buyer, you will be responsible for sourcing ingredients, raw materials and packaging solutions that support the development and launch of new products. You will work closely with NPD teams to understand product requirements, identify suitable suppliers, obtain samples and quotations, and ensure all materials meet quality, technical and regulatory requirements.   You will play a key role throughout the NPD process, providing procurement expertise, preparing accurate costings, assessing feasibility, and identifying any potential supply risks. Working collaboratively with Technical, Operations and Supply Chain colleagues, you will help ensure new products can be successfully scaled up and launched in line with project timelines and customer expectations.   Using your strong commercial awareness and negotiation skills, you will develop and maintain effective supplier relationships, benchmark costs, analyse pricing structures and identify opportunities for cost optimisation.

You will support sustainability, compliance and ethical sourcing initiatives while keeping up to date with market trends, ingredient availability and potential supply chain risks.   As part of the wider Procurement team, you will contribute to continuous improvement activities across the business. This includes supporting cost-saving initiatives, evaluating alternative materials and suppliers, and helping to develop sourcing strategies that support innovation, efficiency and long-term business success.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
