A commercial fresh produce role for someone who understands the pace of fruit trading, supplier relationships and wholesale-led decision-making. Senior Commercial Procurement Manager - Fresh Produce A major fresh produce business is looking for a Senior Commercial Procurement Manager to join its commercial procurement team. This is not a corporate procurement role. It is a hands-on, market-facing position where supply, price, quality, availability and customer demand all need to be balanced quickly and commercially. The role sits close to the wholesale and trading side of the business, so it will suit someone who enjoys the pace of fresh produce, understands daily market movement, and is comfortable working in an early-start, commercially driven environment. London Hybrid working: 2 days on-site 70,000 - 85,000 DOE + 5,250 car allowance + 15% bonus + benefits The Opportunity This is a key role within a large fresh produce operation, focused on securing the right supply, at the right quality and price, while supporting margin, availability and customer service. You'll work closely with suppliers, growers, traders, commercial teams, technical, logistics and operations, making sure supply programmes are commercially sound and responsive to market conditions. It would suit someone from a fresh produce background who has worked across procurement, trading, sales, supply programmes or commercial management - particularly within fruit, imports, wholesale, foodservice or retail supply. Key Responsibilities Manage supplier and grower relationships across fresh produce categories. Negotiate pricing, supply, claims and commercial terms. Support daily and seasonal trading decisions around availability, quality, margin and customer demand. Work closely with sales, trading, technical, logistics and operations teams. Monitor market movement, supply risk, crop conditions and pricing pressure. Help shape supply programmes that balance service, quality and profitability. Build strong, practical relationships with suppliers, growers and internal stakeholders. What We're Looking For You'll need strong fresh produce experience, ideally with fruit categories such as grapes, citrus, berries, stone fruit, melons, tropical fruit or exotics. The business is open to different routes into the role, but your background is likely to include one or more of the following: Fresh produce trading Sales and procurement Commercial procurement Fruit buying Wholesale or foodservice produce Supplier-side commercial management Retail-facing fresh produce supply You do not need to come from a traditional procurement structure. What matters is that you understand fresh produce, can negotiate commercially, manage supplier relationships, react to market movement and make good decisions under pressure. You'll be commercially sharp, practical, confident with suppliers and comfortable working in a fast-moving environment where no two days are the same. Why Join? This is a strong opportunity to join a major fresh produce business in a visible commercial role, with real influence over supply, margin, availability and customer service. You'll be close to the action, working in a business where market knowledge, supplier relationships and sound judgement really matter.

A rare opportunity to take full commercial ownership of a fresh produce category within a major UK grocery retail environment. Trading Manager - Fruit / Fresh Produce Yorkshire area Permanent Hybrid/onsite pattern: on-site four days per week Package: c. 55,000- 65,000 depending on experience + 5.7k cash allowance + bonus + benefits The Opportunity We're supporting a major UK grocery retailer with multiple Trading Manager vacancies across fresh fruit / produce categories. These are broad category ownership roles, covering the retail proposition, procurement strategy, supplier base, commercial performance and seasonal trading across key produce areas. You will be responsible for how your category performs commercially, how it is positioned for customers, how suppliers are selected and managed, and how seasonal movement, availability, quality, margin and price competitiveness are balanced. The core roles sit across fresh fruit categories, with scope varying by category area. One role may also include retail-side responsibility for a related seasonal grocery category, working closely with a separate specialist procurement team. This is a fast-paced, commercial role where decisions matter quickly. You will work closely with retail, procurement, supplier and grower-facing teams to keep the customer proposition and supply strategy joined up. Key Responsibilities Own the commercial performance of a fresh produce category, balancing sales, margin, availability, value and customer quality. Build and deliver category plans across range, pricing, promotions, supplier base and seasonal trading. Shape the procurement approach and supplier strategy for your core produce category. Manage seasonal plans, crop transitions, commodity movement and supply risk. Work closely with internal teams, suppliers and growers to make joined-up trading decisions. Use sales, margin, SKU and supplier data to identify opportunities and improve category performance. What We're Looking For You'll need a strong commercial background in fresh produce, fresh food, grocery trading, buying, procurement or fast-moving short-shelf-life categories. Fresh produce experience would be ideal, but the client is open to people coming from either the supplier side or retail side. You do not need to have done both from day one if you have the commercial judgement, pace and curiosity to learn the missing side. This could suit someone with experience as a Trading Manager, Buying Manager, Category Buyer, Commercial Manager, Procurement Manager, Senior Buyer, Produce Buyer or supplier-side Commercial Manager. You're likely to do well here if you enjoy pace, numbers, supplier conversations, seasonal complexity and taking ownership of commercial decisions. Why Join? This is a strong opportunity for someone who wants more than a narrow buying or procurement role. You'll have real ownership of a visible fresh produce category, with direct influence over retail performance, supplier strategy, customer value and seasonal execution. The role also offers meaningful exposure to growers, suppliers and international sourcing markets, with overseas travel expected around four to six times per year depending on category. The package includes salary, bonus, cash allowance and a strong wider benefits offering. If you're interested in learning more, we'd be happy to have a confidential conversation.
