****Application deadline: 9th October, 2014****
This role reports to the Head of Procurement
Context/Scope:
EABL comprises five business units: KBL, EAML, CGI, SBL and UBL. KBL is further categorized into Demand and Supply. The Supply business is involved in the production of beer and spirits. The Demand business is involved in marketing and pushing the product to consumers. This role is located within the KBL Supply Chain Function. The company is structured on regional basis with purchasing sections, which have been delegated to the various markets to manage their supplies and suppliers. While there is interaction with the Global Logistics Procurement function, major procurement decisions and plans, procedures and practices are dealt with at the in-market level and with a seamless linkage with the Global Teams.
Procurement ensures that
• Goods / services purchased meet EABL requirements on quality, service and Corporate Citizenship;
• Purchasing processes / procedures comply with Diageo standards; and
• Purchasing is done to add value to Diageo – through improved cost efficiency, greater effectiveness of inputs (e.g. media) or innovation.
Purpose of the role:
To define the procurement strategy within a selected category, lead cross functional teams for sourcing and supplier management, working closely with local stakeholders as well as linking into Global Procurement.
Market Complexity:
The Company has very ambitious goals for 2014 and beyond. Procurement has to play his part in delivering Savings and Procurement efficiencies. The company has a large supplier base and is user specification driven. But there is clearly a high vendor related risk link to low capabilities and contract coverage.
Top Accountabilities:
