Proxima is a specialist procurement and supply chain consultancy founded in 1994 and now part of Bain & Company. The firm works with some of the world's largest organisations, helping them design and execute strategic sourcing plans that deliver measurable commercial value. Its category expertise spans raw materials, ingredients, marketing, facilities management, and professional services.
The firm operates across ten cities: London, Leeds, Cardiff, Düsseldorf, Chicago, Singapore, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, Sydney, and Melbourne. Rather than advising from a distance, Proxima's consultants work directly alongside clients to implement sourcing strategies and improve supplier relationships - an approach the firm describes as "rolling up their sleeves" to deliver lasting results.
Internally, Proxima describes a flat structure and a collaborative, people-first culture. Work is split across client sites, home, and local offices under a hybrid model. The firm positions itself as a place where individual contributions are visible and valued, with open-door access across the organisation.
