    Default job background
    Manufacturing / Mechanical
    Description
    Have you ever worked for a business that makes you feel proud, as in really proud? One that, when people ask what you do or who you work for you can't help but smile as you know what their reaction will be when you tell them? One that presents plenty of challenges along with brilliant team spirit and support in delivering results? One where career progression and personal development are a genuine possibility, not an empty promise? Well if not, and you've got a background in procurement then this is your chance

    What's on offer?

    Base salary of circa £45,000 to £55,000
    Discretionary Bonus
    Access to Mercedes preferential rate lease scheme
    Private medical cover
    Contributory Pension
    Hybrid working - 3 days in the office 2 at home
    26 days holiday + bank hols

    What will you be doing?


    You'll be taking control of a multi-million £ spend profile covering a specific spend area - this could be on directs covering Body, Powertrain, Chassis, Electrical or any area of production, or indirects covering corporate services such as HR, Travel, FM, Catering and IT.

    You'll be expected to define, and implement, category strategies for each of your key spend areas that deliver against the overall department savings plan and other key performance targets as well as provide high quality goods and services.

    You'll be running strategic sourcing projects, tender processes, negotiations, contract awards and supplier relationship management, the full end to end process so the role mixes both strategic and operational sides of purchasing.

    You'll be expected to build excellent relationships with your key departmental stakeholders, guiding and advising on procurement best practice and working with them to deliver the best possible solutions to the business.

    Who will you be doing it for?

    You'll be joining an iconic automotive manufacturer, a business steeped in history and creating stunning vehicles.

    They offer a fast paced, challenging environment, as well as the opportunity to grow and develop your skills and progress your career - there are numerous examples of people joining and being promoted within the first 12-18 months.

    What do you need to bring to the party?

    To be successful in this role it is expected that you'll be able to demonstrate the majority of the following skills and experience:

    Proven experience of full lifecycle procurement - ideally you'll have had strategic responsibility for direct spend in a fast moving manufacturing environment - automotive preferred but not essential so long as you can demonstrate strong understanding of best practice procurement and a good track record of delivering savings
    Strong strategic sourcing and supplier evaluation skills as well as previous experience of negotiating and awarding contracts. Experience of working with both domestic and international suppliers would be beneficial
    Excellent stakeholder management skills, able to build relationships and influence at all levels of a business
    A positive, tenacious and resilient attitude and a mind set that constantly looks for opportunities to improve
    Willing and able to be on site 3 days a week - this will likely be more during your first 3 months whilst you build your understanding of the business and relationships with people
    Able to travel both in the UK and overseas when needed


    If the above sounds like the next step in your already successful career, and you'd like to learn more, apply today with a copy of your CV, LinkedIn profile or whatever you have for immediate consideration – every application is reviewed by a person, and everyone will get a response, it's the least you deserve.
