About the role

Procurement Buyer (Indirect Procurement)

Location: Woking, Surrey (Hybrid )

Build your Procurement career with one of the world's leading premium beer companies.

We're looking for two Procurement Buyers to join our growing UK Procurement team.

Whether you're already a Buyer looking for broader responsibility, or an ambitious Procurement professional ready for your next step, this role offers exposure to a huge variety of sourcing projects and genuine opportunities to develop into a Category Manager.
