The role
HelloFresh manages approximately €1.7B in annual direct procurement spend across ingredients and packaging, covering markets in the EU, US, Canada, ANZ, and the UK. This role builds the cost intelligence capability for Global Procurement. You will create the analytical models and frameworks that give the business clear visibility into what ingredients really cost: where those costs come from, how they move, and where the opportunities lie. Your work will give regional teams the insight they need to make well-grounded decisions and to track progress against the group's cost reduction ambitions. This is a role for a senior procurement professional who is comfortable with detailed analysis and who can explain complex numbers simply to senior leaders and to colleagues in markets. You will be recognized as the go-to expert on cost across the team.
What you’ll do
- Develop a harmonized cost measurement methodology with Finance and regional procurement teams, so that ingredient savings are defined, measured, and reported consistently across all markets.
- Build should-cost models and total cost of ownership frameworks for priority categories, breaking unit price into its drivers (origin, processing method, logistics, certification, and shelf life), and use them to identify savings and inform sourcing decisions.
- Track ingredient price drivers across markets, including contract prices, actual prices, and market inflation, and identify overlap across brands to find rationalization and consolidation opportunities.
- Report progress against the group's ingredient cost reduction target to senior leadership, explaining root causes rather than just variances, and help build the governance needed to sustain this over time.
You are...
- An analytical professional who builds models that hold up to scrutiny from Finance and senior leadership.
- Commercially minded: you look at total value, not just unit price, and you understand what drives cost in food and packaging.
- A clear communicator who turns complex analysis into a simple story that regional teams can act on.
- Collaborative: you build alignment with Finance, procurement, and market teams through influence rather than authority.
- Self-directed: you manage several analyses at once and take ownership from the question through to the recommendation.
You have...
- 5+ years in procurement, cost analysis, or consulting in a global food, retail, or consumer goods business.
- Hands-on experience building should-cost models or total cost of ownership frameworks, and using them to influence real commercial decisions.
- Experience measuring cost and savings across multiple markets, including the common pitfalls such as inconsistent methods, inflation effects, and volume mix.
- Experience with food, ingredient, or packaging categories, including origin, certification, and specification considerations.
- Fluent in English. Bonus if fluent in French, German, or Dutch. Comfortable working across time zones, with the ability to travel up to 20%.
Nice to have...
- Familiarity with sustainability certification schemes and their cost implications.
- Experience with commodity price risk or hedging frameworks.
