About the Role
We’re looking for a proactive and commercially minded Supply Chain Buyer to join our growing operations team. You’ll play a key role in ensuring the smooth flow of materials, products, and services across our supply chain — balancing cost, quality, and reliability to keep our business moving.
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, enjoys building strong supplier relationships, and loves solving problems before they become bottlenecks.
What You’ll Be Doing
* Managing the end-to-end purchasing process for assigned categories
* Sourcing, evaluating, and negotiating with suppliers to secure the best value
* Monitoring supplier performance and resolving issues quickly and effectively
* Analysing demand forecasts and stock levels to maintain optimal inventory
* Raising purchase orders and ensuring accurate documentation
* Working closely with production, logistics, and finance teams to support operational needs
* Identifying opportunities to reduce costs, improve lead times, and strengthen supply resilience
* Supporting continuous improvement initiatives across the supply chain
What We’re Looking For
* Experience in a Buyer, Procurement, or Supply Chain role
* Strong negotiation and supplier management skills
* Confident working with data, forecasts, and ERP/MRP systems
* Excellent communication and relationship-building abilities
* A proactive mindset with the ability to prioritise and solve problems
* Strong attention to detail and a commitment to accuracy
* CIPS qualification (or working towards it) is a bonus, not a requirement
What’s in It for You
* A supportive, collaborative team environment
* Opportunities for professional development and progression
* Competitive salary and benefits package
* The chance to make a real impact in a business that values continuous improvement
If you want, I can also create variations — more formal, more energetic, more concise, or tailored to a specific industry (manufacturing, FMCG, engineering, logistics, etc.). Just tell me the style you prefer.
