Job description

DIRECTOR OF PROCUREMENT


Senior Leadership | Agribusiness | Confidential Client


The Company

Our client is a multi-plant agribusiness manufacturer serving commercial cattle producers across the central United States. For more than five decades, the organization has built its reputation on disciplined execution, long-term producer relationships, and science-based nutrition solutions.


The company operates within the cattle feeding corridor and sources a complex mix of liquid and dry ingredients to support plant manufacturing operations. Leadership is deeply involved, performance-driven, and committed to long-term growth.


This role reports directly to the CEO and carries enterprise-level responsibility.


The Mission

Within 24 months, build and lead a procurement function that:

  • Reduces total ingredient cost volatility exposure
  • Improves inventory turns and working capital efficiency
  • Expands strategic supplier partnerships
  • Enhances pricing visibility for executive decision making
  • Positions the business for scalable growth


This is not a buyer role. It is a leadership and risk management role.


The Scorecard

(What You Will Be Accountable For)


First 6 Months

  • Conduct full risk assessment of ingredient exposure and supply chain dependencies
  • Implement clear commodity risk reporting to CEO
  • Improve short-term price projection accuracy (1–4 month horizon)
  • Strengthen communication cadence between procurement, operations, and finance

6–12 Months

  • Improve procurement discipline across all ingredient categories
  • Increase supplier leverage through contract optimization
  • Improve inventory forecasting accuracy and reduce stock-out exposure
  • Standardize urea position management and dispatch planning

12–24 Months

  • Reduce total cost of procurement through strategic sourcing initiatives
  • Improve inventory turns and working capital deployment
  • Identify and onboard new strategic ingredient sources
  • Develop and elevate procurement team capability

Key Outcomes This Leader Will Drive

  • Enterprise-level commodities risk management
  • Best-total-cost sourcing strategy
  • Accurate forward visibility on ingredient pricing
  • Cross-functional alignment with finance, operations, and executive leadership
  • Development of a high-performance procurement team


Competencies That Matter

We are not hiring based on years alone. We are hiring based on demonstrated performance.

The right candidate will have:

  • Proven success managing commodity purchasing in volatile markets
  • Experience negotiating long-term supplier contracts
  • Strong inventory management and forecasting capability
  • Deep understanding of logistics: rail, truck, and bulk movement
  • Ability to communicate risk clearly to executive leadership
  • Demonstrated ability to build and lead teams


Industry experience in feed, dairy, grain, fertilizer, or related commodity-driven manufacturing environments is strongly preferred.


Culture Fit

This is a performance-oriented, direct, no-politics organization.

The CEO values:

  • Transparency
  • Speed
  • Data-driven decision making
  • Accountability
  • Long-term relationships


If you prefer excessive bureaucracy or indirect communication, this is not the environment.


Compensation

  • Competitive base salary
  • Performance incentive
  • Leadership visibility and long-term growth opportunity


Relocation support available for the right candidate.


Why This Role Matters

Procurement in this business directly impacts EBITDA.

This position is a lever for margin expansion, risk mitigation, and growth.

You will not sit on the sidelines. You will shape outcomes.
