    You will be providing purchasing support and expertise to a wide range of internal stakeholders, advising on best practice and promoting adherence to purchasing policy and the utilisation of approved suppliers.

    You'll led on contract/price negotiations to maximise value for money and manage supplier relationships to create a positive, mutually beneficial balance - most of these suppliers are UK based so you'll be expected to get out and meet with them in person to further the relationships.

    What do you need to bring to the table?

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

    Previous experience in a purchasing role, ideally within a manufacturing environment, that incorporates supplier identification, selection, negotiation and relationship management
    Strong commercial awareness and able to evidence previous savings delivery
    Intermediate Excel/Word/PowerPoint knowledge
    Excellent communication and rapport building skills with both internal and external stakeholders
    Willing and able to commute to the facility in Kidderminster on a daily basis, with additional travel to other company sites and suppliers when needed
    Able to manage multiple concurrent projects and prioritise


    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.
