Procurement Executive / Senior Executive, Institutional Catering

Position Summary We are looking for a commercially minded Procurement Executive / Senior Executive to support the growth of our Institutional Catering business. This is not a traditional purchasing role. You will support the procurement needs of our client-operated sites, while helping us build new supplier networks, develop vendor partnerships and identify solutions that can support new business opportunities as the division grows. You should be comfortable operating in a start-up environment within an established Group, where roles are fluid, cross-functional exposure is expected and initiative matters. Key Responsibilities Manage procurement requirements for our institutional catering sites, including foodservice equipment, smallwares, consumables, packaging and other operational supplies.

Source, evaluate and onboard new vendors to support existing sites and new business opportunities.

Build supplier networks and identify new products, services and commercial solutions that can strengthen our client offering.

Negotiate pricing, commercial terms and service levels while balancing cost, quality and reliability.

Support new site mobilisation from pre-opening through launch.

Monitor supplier performance and resolve pricing, delivery, quality or service issues.

Develop procurement processes, vendor databases and sourcing frameworks as the business scales.

Support tenders, costing exercises and business development initiatives where procurement input is required.

Work closely with Operations, Business Development, Finance, Culinary and HSE teams on cross-functional projects.

Requirements Diploma or Degree in Procurement, Supply Chain, Business or related discipline.

2-5 years of relevant experience, preferably within F&B, catering, hospitality, facilities management or related industries.

Strong sourcing, negotiation and commercial skills.

Resourceful and confident engaging new suppliers and developing relationships from scratch.

Strong analytical skills and proficiency in Excel.

Able to independently manage multiple projects and site requirements.

We Are Looking For Someone Who Is self-driven, entrepreneurial and comfortable breaking new ground.

Enjoys discovering new suppliers, products and solutions rather than relying only on existing vendor lists.

Is commercially curious and constantly looking for ways to improve our client offering.

Can build procurement systems and processes as the business grows.

Thrives in a fast-moving environment with broad exposure across operations, sales and new business development.

Is willing to roll up their sleeves and take ownership beyond a narrowly defined job scope.
