Commodities & Couverture Manager

Why we are here     

Tony’s Chocolonely is committed to ending exploitation in cocoa. We are an impact company that makes chocolate, not a chocolate company that makes impact. With incredibly tasty chocolate, we lead by example, demonstrating that ethical practices and success can go hand in hand. Through Tony's Open Chain (TOC), mission allies like Albert Heijn, Ben & Jerry's, Jokolade, and Aldi have embraced a fairer, more transparent supply chain for their chocolate too. 

What you will do  

We’re looking for a Commodities & Couverture Manager to join our Procurement department and shape Tony's long-term sourcing strategy. 

This is a senior role with global scope and significant impact: you’ll manage over €100 million in spend across cocoa and other raw materials, mitigate market risk, seek opportunities, and co-create sustainability strategies beyond cocoa. Your expertise will help us secure competitive prices, ensure business continuity, and deliver on our mission. 

Reporting to the Head of Procurement, you’ll lead one direct report (Commodities Buyer) and work closely with senior stakeholders - including CFO, COO, and Head of sustainability - to align procurement strategies with Tony’s growth ambitions and risk appetite. 

All wrapped up     

• Define and implement Tony’s chocolate sourcing strategy for the next 5 years, including a Business Continuity Plan for cocoa and non-cocoa ingredients. 

• Monitor global commodity markets and provide hedging and buying recommendations in line with our risk management policy.  

• Lead the hedging committee and communicate market insights and recommendations to senior leadership. 

• Develop and maintain risk models and dashboards for procurement decision-making. 

• Co-create sustainability strategies for raw materials in collaboration with our sustainability team. 

• Secure competitive pricing for ingredients through market research, supplier negotiations, and alternative sourcing strategies. 

Requirements

Our perfect New Edition     

• 5–10 years of experience in procurement, with at least 3+ years in commodity management and hedging, ideally in food, FMCG or similar industries. 

• Proven experience in strategic sourcing and category management.  

• Strategic thinker with the ability to put best practices into tactical, relevant plans. 

• Strong financial acumen and analytical skills, experience in budgeting, PPV, and cost analysis. 

• Knowledge of sustainability principles in sourcing.  

• Strong stakeholder management and communications skills: ability to influence, inspire and drive strong collaboration within and across departments.   

• Hands-on mentality with the ability to manage ambiguity and thrive in a fast-paced environment. 

• Believe wholeheartedly in Tony’s mission. You live our core values: outspoken, willful, entrepreneurial and makes you smile.    

We are all about being more in person than apart; this means we offer flexibility but see each other in the office on average 3 days a week. More is fine too!
