Buyer Procurement Manager - British Bespoke Sculpture Manufacturing

Procurement | Bespoke Design & Manufacturing | British Craftsmanship | Specialist Materials | Luxury Brand Operations

Exceptional pieces begin with inspired design. Bringing them to life takes exceptional people.

At David Harber, we create internationally renowned sculptures, sundials and water features for some of the world’s most prestigious private, commercial and public spaces.

Behind every piece lies a carefully coordinated blend of creative talent, skilled craftsmanship, specialist materials and trusted partners.

As our Buyer / Procurement Manager, you'll bring these elements together, helping our team translate artistic vision into beautifully finished work, ready to take its place in extraordinary settings.

You'll take ownership of procurement, supplier relationships, materials and stock, working closely with our design and workshop teams to make sure every commission receives the care, planning and attention it deserves.

Beyond the day-to-day, you'll have the opportunity to refine how we work, introduce better systems and grow into broader operational leadership within an established British luxury design business.

Essential experience

You'll have experience buying raw materials and components, such as steel and other metals, stone, timber or other specialist materials, for a manufacturing or bespoke production environment. We're looking for someone who has sourced what goes into making a finished product, rather than buying finished goods for resale.

About David Harber

David Harber is an internationally recognised British design business whose sculptures, sundials and water features bring artistry and individuality to private gardens, public landscapes and distinguished commercial spaces around the world.

Every piece brings together creative vision, craftsmanship and engineering, with exceptional attention to form, materials and finish.

That same care extends behind the scenes. Our designers, craftspeople and wider team work closely with specialist suppliers and partners to bring each piece to life. You’ll play a central role in making that collaboration work beautifully.

The Opportunity

We are looking for an experienced Procurement / Purchasing professional from a manufacturing or bespoke production environment to take ownership of procurement, supplier relationships, materials and stock, while playing a key role in the day-to-day operational flow of our Oxfordshire workshop.

This is not a retail buying role or a purely strategic procurement position. You'll be close to the workshop, working directly with production, design, sales and finance to make sure the right materials and services are available at the right time, to the right specification and at the right cost.

You'll also have the opportunity to help improve the way we operate, including supporting the implementation of Sage 200, strengthening stock control and developing more effective purchasing and operational processes.

Over time, there is scope for this role to develop into broader operational leadership.
