Our client, a leading packaging manufacturer specialising in the food industry, is seeking a passionate and commercially minded Packaging Buyer to join their growing procurement team.
With sustainability at the heart of their business, this is a fantastic opportunity to play a key role in sourcing innovative and responsible materials that help shape the future of food packaging.
In this role, you’ll take ownership of a broad range of packaging commodities, including paper, board, flexible films, and bio-based materials. You’ll work closely with internal teams and external partners to identify new suppliers, negotiate contracts and secure reliable and cost-effective sources of sustainable materials. Your insight into market trends and understanding of environmental standards will help the business stay ahead in a fast-moving and highly competitive sector.
The successful candidate will bring experience in packaging or materials buying, ideally within the food or FMCG sector, along with a strong grasp of sustainability principles such as recyclability, renewable resources and carbon reduction.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a forward-thinking manufacturer that is genuinely committed to reducing its environmental footprint and driving positive change across the packaging supply chain. If you’re ready to combine your commercial expertise with a passion for sustainability, we’d love to hear from you.
