• Monitor key procurement metrics, including costs, inventory levels, cash flow and supplier performance.
• Work closely with Finance to maintain accurate procurement data and forecasts.
• Manage third-party logistics activities.
• Work closely with Manufacturing and Operations to ensure materials are available in line with production requirements.

About You

• Previous experience in procurement, purchasing or a closely related discipline.
• Strong attention to detail and a genuine completer-finisher approach.
• Strong Excel and Microsoft Office skills.
• Commercially minded, with experience managing suppliers and negotiating terms.
• Comfortable identifying and managing supply chain risks.
• Experience of implementing processes, systems or business improvements would be advantageous.
• Able to work in a fast-paced, growing environment and balance strategic improvements with hands-on operational responsibilities.

What's on Offer?

• Share options
• Opportunity to join an innovative, growing technology business.
• Significant autonomy and ownership over the procurement function.
• The chance to make a tangible impact on a scaling manufacturing operation.
