Job DescriptionSummaryReporting to Senior Director, Commodity Procurement, the manager plays a key role in driving data-driven insights and strengthening FGF's and WB's sourcing risk governance. This position combines deep analytical capabilities with market understanding to monitor, assess, and communicate sourcing risks, cost exposures, and market developments across key commodities.

Primary Responsibilities- Develop deep expertise in market risk analysis by continuously learning and applying the most up-to-date methods for measuring, modeling, and mitigating sourcing and commodity exposure risks.
- Design, maintain, and enhance a system of risk indicators that monitors key market movements, cost drivers, and exposure across all commodity categories - ensuring these insights are embedded into sourcing and leadership decision-making.
- Build and manage comprehensive risk profiles for each major ingredient and commodity, combining internal cost structures, supplier positions, and external market intelligence to present a clear picture of total exposure.
- Collaborate closely with the Sourcing Team and other functions (Finance, Planning, Data, Operations) to ensure alignment, accuracy, and integrity of risk data flowing through all systems and reports.
- Leverage data as the foundation for insight - using advanced quantitative and mathematical techniques to identify trends, correlations, and potential vulnerabilities within supply and pricing structures.
- Translate complex risk data into actionable insights, developing dashboards, scorecards, and visual tools that support timely and informed business decisions.
- Manage multiple high-impact projects simultaneously, maintaining precision, consistency, and a proactive approach to deliver results under tight timelines.
- Continuously improve analytical processes, data models, and reporting frameworks to enhance visibility, accuracy, and predictive capability of risk monitoring tools.
- Act as an internal educator and advocate for risk awareness, promoting understanding of market dynamics, volatility, and financial instruments among sourcing and cross-functional partners.
- Support strategic decision-making by combining analytical evidence with commercial intuition - ensuring recommendations balance cost, risk, and opportunity across time horizons.
Required Experience- Bachelor's degree in Finance, Economics, Mathematics, Supply Chain, or a related analytical discipline; a postgraduate qualification or professional certification (CFA, FRM, CTP, etc.) is an advantage
- Minimum 4+ years of experience in a related role
- Strong analytical and mathematical foundation, with proven ability to interpret complex data, identify patterns, and translate findings into actionable insights.

- Exceptional attention to detail and ability to maintain accuracy while managing multiple projects, stakeholders, and deadlines simultaneously.
- Curious and self-driven learner, motivated to stay ahead of market trends, analytical methods, and risk-management practices.
- Ability to connect data with real-world decisions, understanding both technical models and their business implications.
- Proven capability to work cross-functionally with Finance, Sourcing, Planning, and Operations teams to ensure alignment, transparency, and informed decision-making.
