We are looking for a passionate early-career talent to join our fast-expanding Brand Building Purchases team at P&G as an Influencer Junior Buyer within our Purchasing department. This is an entry-level opportunity designed for someone who is excited to start their career with P&G and grow through hands-on experience, development, and exposure to a dynamic business environment.
What To Expect:
- Lead strategic and day-to-day sourcing for social influencer management, creator content and agency partnerships, ensuring the best overall value for P&G in line with purchasing strategy.
- Own core purchasing responsibilities including supply assurance, value delivery, policy compliance and supplier performance management.
- Use data, performance results and market insight to identify opportunities, solve business challenges and recommend effective sourcing strategies.
- Partner closely with brand teams to understand business needs, review results, identify improvement opportunities and build action plans that deliver impact.
- Manage key supplier relationships, including negotiations, performance optimisation and compliance requirements such as information security and data privacy.
- Work with P&G brand teams to put the right contracts, KPIs and expectations in place so suppliers deliver high-quality work against clear business goals.
What We Offer You:
