Global Senior Supply Risk Manager

Within Danone's Procurement team, the Global Senior Supply Risk Manager plays a strategic role within the C&P team, responsible for safeguarding supply continuity across all direct categories and regions. Working at the intersection of risk intelligence, category strategy, and supplier relationships, this position ensures the organization is prepared for — and resilient against — supply disruptions across the entire direct materials portfolio.

This role draws on best practices seen at leading FMCG companies, where security supply, Business Continuity Planning (BCP), and cross-regional collaboration are central to procurement excellence. The Supply Risk Manager acts as the central hub connecting global category teams, regional procurement functions, and key suppliers to build a robust, proactive supply security framework.
