We’re looking for a commercially minded, hands-on procurement professional who thrives in a fast-paced environment, enjoys taking ownership and can balance day‑to‑day purchasing requirements with longer‑term process improvement.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage end‑to‑end purchasing activities, from sourcing requirements and obtaining quotations through to purchase order management and delivery tracking.
• Build and maintain strong supplier relationships, support commercial negotiations and monitor supplier performance.
• Coordinate supplier agreements, contractual documentation, renewals and the resolution of commercial issues.
• Work closely with internal stakeholders across engineering, operations, finance and quality to ensure purchasing requirements are met.
• Maintain accurate procurement records and support robust documentation and compliance practices.
• Help develop and implement standardised procurement processes as the business continues to scale.
• Contribute to the implementation and optimisation of ERP systems, improving purchasing visibility, controls and efficiency.
• Identify opportunities to improve supplier management, purchasing practices and overall commercial performance.

What We’re Looking For

• Proven experience in procurement or purchasing within aerospace, engineering, manufacturing, defence or another technically complex industry.
• Experience managing suppliers, sourcing materials or services and supporting commercial negotiations.
• Strong organisational and analytical skills, with excellent attention to detail.
• A proactive, pragmatic approach to resolving supplier and operational challenges.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
• The ability to work independently, manage competing priorities and make decisions in a dynamic environment.
• A continuous improvement mindset and the confidence to help shape processes as the business grows.
• Experience using ERP platforms such as SAP, Microsoft Dynamics or similar systems.
• Exposure to ERP implementation, procurement transformation or the introduction of structured purchasing controls.
• Experience working within a high-growth business or helping establish procurement processes from the ground up.

What’s on Offer?

• A highly competitive salary package, complemented by performance‑related bonuses and potential equity participation.
• The opportunity to contribute directly to the growth and success of an ambitious aerospace business.
• Relocation assistance, including support with travel, moving arrangements and visa requirements, where applicable.
• Meals and refreshments provided throughout the working day.
• Access to company‑supported accommodation, subject to availability and applicable arrangements.
• Significant autonomy, responsibility and the opportunity to make a tangible impact on the development of the procurement function.

The Opportunity

This role would suit someone who enjoys working in a demanding, fast‑moving environment where initiative, accountability and adaptability are valued.

You’ll have the opportunity to influence how procurement operates, strengthen supplier relationships and help establish scalable processes within a business experiencing significant growth.

The position operates within a 48‑hour working week, and candidates should be comfortable with the pace, flexibility and level of ownership associated with a rapidly scaling organisation.

The business is committed to fostering an inclusive working environment where diverse backgrounds, perspectives and experiences are valued.
