As a Procurement Manager at Bloom & Wild, you will provide the critical firepower needed to grow and optimise our non‑horticultural range. You will proactively own the execution of sourcing new SKUs, supplier benchmarking, and contract negotiations, setting up the products you own for commercial and operational success.
What you’ll be doing:
- Source new SKUs and suppliers to rapidly scale our non‑horticultural gifting range
- Drive our margin ambitions by leading negotiations to deliver significant, measurable cost savings without sacrificing quality
- Develop key supplier relationships, setting the tone for long‑term strategic partnerships and managing their holistic performance
- Act as the key commercial partner to our Range team, helping them select the best products by providing market assessments and supplier benchmarks
- Negotiate, implement, and manage comprehensive commercial and operational contracts
- Manage supplier and SKU onboarding, ensuring all new partners and products are commercially vetted and operationally ready for our supply chain
- Own the responsibility of updating and engaging internal partners, ensuring a “no‑surprises” approach to range expansion
