Job Title: Procurement Category Manager, Innovation

About this role

Diageo's Procurement structure combines above-market resources, who develop world-class category strategies, with in-market Procurement resources, who focus on excellence in execution and supplier performance management.

The Procurement Category Manager, Innovation connects Diageo's brand and innovation ambition to supplier capability. This role embeds Procurement early in the innovation lifecycle, anticipates the packaging and liquid capabilities the pipeline will need, and turns business strategy into scalable supplier solutions across North America. The role shapes what Diageo sources and with whom for the next generation of launches, rather than administering purchasing transactions. Day-to-day execution is delivered through the Innovation Project Managers, Supply Category Procurement and in-market teams, working to the frameworks, governance and standards this role designs.
Reports to the Supply Procurement Director, Raw Materials, Logstics and Supply Innovation.
Supports all locations and innovation programs in North America.

Partner with Brand, Innovation and R&D leadership early in the stage-gate process, so that Procurement shapes concepts and informs go/no-go decisions on cost, supply risk and supplier readiness.
Translate business innovation priorities into category-level sourcing strategies across packaging and liquid, working with Procurement Category Managers and Directors to keep them aligned with global category strategy.
Establish Procurement Innovation best practices and an operating model for how Procurement engages with innovation, including clear handoffs from launch to base business procurement.
Act as a trusted advisor to senior stakeholders, using data, scenarios and clear storytelling to influence decisions and educate the business on the key sourcing and financial drivers in packaging and liquid categories.

Supplier Innovation and Capability
Build and manage an innovation pipeline from external partners. Proactively identify and mobilize suppliers to solve defined business challenges and convert supplier ideas into actionable projects.
Conduct continuous supplier and market landscape assessments in packaging and liquid, tracking emerging technologies, materials, sustainability solutions and supplier capability trends relevant to Diageo's future needs.
Lead capability gap assessments across the existing supplier base with Category Managers and Directors, and decide when to develop, onboard or exit suppliers.
Source new-to-world suppliers and technologies for the innovation pipeline and lead strategic selection and negotiation of the most critical partnerships.
Design and run supplier-enabled innovation events, such as innovation days and challenges, in partnership with R&D and Brand.

Value creation and financial stewardship
Shape transparent financials by guiding COGS-setting for new-to-world components, setting cost-modeling principles and challenging assumptions early in the development process.
Identify and deliver savings and value opportunities through innovation sourcing strategy, design-to-value collaboration with suppliers, and process-driven improvement.
Anticipate supply risk and run scenario planning for the innovation portfolio, with practical mitigation paths for the most critical launches.

Performance, governance and continuous improvement
Own the innovation KPI framework across packaging and liquid suppliers, including on-time-in-full (OTIF) delivery and 100% compliance. Use insights from the data to drive supplier development and present cross-functional performance feedback to internal and external leadership teams.
Set the standards for innovation Supplier Performance Management and the Supplier Lifecycle Development Process and provide guidance and coaching to Innovation Project Managers and Supply Category Procurement, who manage launch-level vendor execution.
Define and champion Procure-to-Pay (PtP) compliance requirements for innovation, such as PO creation, budget management, vendor reinstatement and extensions. Embed them in the ways of working, monitor compliance through dashboards and exception reporting, and escalate patterns that need leadership attention. Transactional processing is handled by the appropriate in-market and shared-service teams.
Lead process improvement and Way of Working opportunities that simplify complexity and create scalable best practices across the end-to-end innovation value chain.
Facilitate cross-functional forums with Finance, Supply, Marketing, Legal, Quality and R&D to strengthen alignment, and escalate to senior leaders when priorities conflict.
