- Monitor industry developments in ingredient markets, packaging technologies and operational capabilities to present new opportunities to the Tovala team.
- Provide support to the Procurement team and have a full understanding of the purchasing process and systems.
About you:

- You have strong project management experience, leading the initiation and execution of high value sourcing projects, with a sense of urgency and attention to detail.
- Not only are your project management skills strong, but you also have experience in the identification and implementation of these projects - this is a hands-on and highly cross functional and integrated role.
- You have strong negotiation skills and have a proven history of balancing stakeholder interests and expectations while holding vendors accountable and driving value across the supply chain.
- You have the ability to think and act critically about processes and supply chain systems with a focus on continuous improvement in value, innovation and cost savings, while staying ahead of market trends.
- You have strong problem solving and planning skills, and display the ability to think proactively and strategically to provide solutions in advance of challenges.
- You have strong verbal and written communication skills.
Requirements:
