This is a rare opportunity to join a successful manufacturing business at an exciting stage of its development and play a pivotal role in shaping the procurement department as the company continues to expand.

• Maintain accurate and current procurement data within the ERP/MRP system, ensuring full visibility of supplier commitments and open orders.
• Build and maintain strong supplier relationships through regular reviews, performance management, and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Lead supplier onboarding, qualification, and approval processes in line with business and quality requirements.
• Negotiate pricing, payment terms, lead times, contracts, and commercial agreements.
• Collaborate with Planning and Production teams to translate customer demand and programme requirements into effective procurement plans.
• Manage material call-offs and phased purchasing activities to balance inventory levels and production continuity.
• Establish and implement procurement policies, procedures, and governance frameworks to support a growing business.
