Your New Company

Our client is a global leader and household name in the consumer packaging manufacturing sector. Known for its commitment to sustainability, innovation, and operational excellence, it operates in a highly automated and digitally advanced environment. As part of a strategic growth initiative, the company is building a high-performing team to lead procurement operations at this new site in Chesterfield, Virginia. Relocation support will be offered for candidates interested in moving to the area.

Your New Role

As the Head of Procurement, you will be responsible for establishing and leading the site’s procurement function from the ground up. Reporting to the General Manager, you will oversee a team and play a pivotal role in shaping sourcing strategy, building supplier relationships, and driving operational efficiency. This is a rare opportunity to influence the setup of procurement systems and processes in a cutting-edge manufacturing environment. You’ll be responsible for building systems, processes, and partnerships that support the site’s long-term success.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Driving cost savings and supplier performance improvements
  • Leading strategic negotiations and ensuring compliance
  • Supporting the broader transformation and scale-up of operations

What You Will Need to Succeed

  • 10+ years of broad procurement experience, with at least 5 years in a people leadership role at the Director level
  • Proven success ideally in packaging/CPG manufacturing and automated operations environments
  • Experience leading through change, such as scaling, automation, or transformation initiatives
  • Strong strategic sourcing, negotiation, and supplier management capabilities
  • High integrity, analytical thinking, and a collaborative leadership style

What You Will Get in Return

This role offers more than just a competitive compensation package (including relocation support) — it’s a chance to shape a procurement function within a high-impact, high-visibility environment.
