Head of Procurement

We’re looking for a Head of Procurement to lead the procurement function.

Focusing on responsible sourcing, governance and long term supplier development. The ideal candidate will bring robust procurement experience, having set a strategy and delivered it through a team.

We’re , a dog food subscription company with a big difference. We create truly tailored food for each and every dog we serve. We start by asking people a few simple questions about their dog. Then we use that information to create their dog’s unique  recipe – so their dog gets exactly the nutrition they need, in the taste they love, delivered to their door every month.

It’s clever stuff.

We’ve got bold plans. Having created an entirely new category in pet food, we’re now scaling fast – backed by Purina, one of the world’s largest pet food companies. You’ll join a bunch of smart people working towards the same goals – and a bunch of smart-ish dogs,োনা working on their own thing.

Together, we’ll change the world of pet food for good.

People. Process. Planning
.

People first – because it takes good people to build the kind of long‑term, trusted partnerships with suppliers that we do, and it takes great people to create and deliver an exceptional product.

Process, because we can only do what we do by being able to see how the whole

system – physical product, digital product, and personal service – fits together. Then

we make these complex processes as simple and streamlined as possible. So our

team are pattern‑spotters, insight‑hunters, and change‑makers; people ready to be

flexible, adaptable, and help us improve in everything we do.

And planning, because we’re here to see as much of the future as we can - to make

sure we have enough food for the dogs we serve. We’ve been data‑driven from day one, finding new and better ways to draw the insights that help us plan for next week, next year, or five years from now.

We’re building an international brand, fast. We set ambitious goals. We challenge and support each other in equal measure. At the pace we’re moving, we prefer to test ideas and learn quickly rather than spend months building a business case. That means we celebrate when things go right, and we learn when things go wrong.

Sound like a team you want to join? Here’s how you’ll make a difference:
