Procurement Manager – Non-horticultural

Phoenix Court Group

You’ll be joining the engine room of Bloom & Wild’s fastest-growing categories. While we are known for our flowers, our Procurement team provides the operational and supply chain foundation for our non horticultural range – from fresh baked treats and luxury hamper components to home, lifestyle and essential packaging that delivers the “wow” moment.

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

You’ll love this role if you

• Are a strong negotiator and relationship builder – you excel at developing supplier partnerships and have the commercial acumen to lead negotiations that deliver significant margin improvements and cost savings, ensuring we always achieve the best value without sacrificing quality
• Work with agility – you understand the broader business context and can identify problems with requirements up front to keep the project moving at pace
• Don’t need a map – you learn quickly and make steady progress without the need for constant, significant feedback from your manager
• Are an outcome driven specialist – you are capable of prioritizing and avoid getting caught up in unimportant details; you focus on the highest impact wins
• Enjoy high pace execution – you thrive in a “sprint” environment, where you get things done from start to finish and can be relied upon to manage your time effectively during peak periods
• Are a detail oriented onboarder – you have a high bar for quality and a great deal of care, ensuring that every new SKU is operationally ready before it hits our warehouse
• Are a self sufficient problem solver – you rarely make the same mistake twice and can identify potential problems with requirements up front to keep the project moving
• Are a natural collaborator – you know how to bridge the gap between creative vision and operational reality, identifying and engaging the right stakeholders from day one
