Africa represents Diageo’s largest group of emerging markets in terms of net sales and employs over 5,300 people (one in four of Diageo’s total workforce worldwide) in its businesses in Africa and many more indirectly through the production, distribution and promotion of its brands. Today, while Guinness remains at the heart of our business, being brewed in over 20 countries and exported to many others, our range of brands and geographic reach has expanded and our supply presence has grown to support it.

Guinness Cameroon SA is a leading drinks company in Cameroon, holding circa 16% market share of the drinks market. It operates from one site in four drinks categories: Stout, Lager, RTD and Malt as well as the distribution of Spirits. Growth in the Cameroon economy is expected to continue at mid to high single digit in a competitive environment.

Our aim is to be renowned as an exceptionally agile, value driven function which works as fully integrated business partners regularly beating our own high expectations and those of our stakeholders.

Financial

This role holder will be responsible for the effective and efficient management of imported raw materials and Packaging materials (imported and local), by consistently applying the Diageo Way of Category Management and identifying value improvement initiatives to deliver the financial plan.

Market Complexity

GCSA Procurement manages approx. £70m of external spend with approx. 400 suppliers across the Supply, Demand and Indirects Management portfolios and is a significant contributor of value to GCSA, targeted to deliver year on year cost reductions of between 3-5%.

There is significant complexity within the supply base due to 

• the many different types of suppliers ranging from multi nationals to subsistence farmers 
• the many different locations worldwide of these suppliers 
• the myriad of goods and services they provide us with (from bottles and labels to advertising space, catering services and protocols management) 

Cameroon itself is an exciting market to work in due in to its stable economy and business dynamics. However there are a number of challenges including: 

• Strategic Category management and innovative procurement techniques in general are not widely known due to an immature, but rapidly developing supply base 
• reliance on imports which makes cost management a challenge 
• Infrastructure of the country is still developing and in many cases the supply base is non optimal due to excessive fragmentation 

Diageo Global Procurement is a truly global team. The role holder will be required to work closely with colleagues from countries all around the world and with stakeholders at all levels within the market. The ability to build strong relationships and influence remotely and inter culturally is key to success in this role.
