  • Monitor and report divisional P&L, procurement performance metrics, and contribution to overall business results.

Leadership & Strategic Growth

  • Build and lead a high-performing procurement and origination team across multiple geographies.
  • Define clear KPIs, ensure operational excellence, and drive team capability development.
  • Contribute to the long-term strategic growth of the company's Edible Nuts division through new origin development, supplier diversification, and process optimization.
