Job description

Social network you want to login/join with:

Are you working in customer services and looking to take the next step in your career? Do you enjoy solving problems, working with people, and making things run more smoothly? Our client - a successful and growing UK Plc - is looking for a motivated, people-focused individual to join their team as an Assistant Buyer.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with strong customer service experience to transition into a rewarding role where you'll contribute to major business decisions, build internal and external relationships, and help deliver value across the organisation.

Why You'll Love This Role:

If you've worked in customer service, you already have many of the core skills needed for this role - communication, organisation, negotiation, and stakeholder support. Procurement is all about building relationships, understanding needs, and making smart decisions - just like you do every day.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Managing a category of products or services to ensure the business gets the best value
• Supporting sourcing activities and helping deliver cost savings
• Building and maintaining purchasing plans that align with business priorities
• Supporting supplier conversations and contract negotiations
• Working with colleagues across departments to understand their needs and offer solutions
• Ensuring supplier relationships are handled ethically and professionally

What We're Looking For:

• Experience in a customer service or customer-facing role
• A strong communicator with good organisational skills and attention to detail
• Comfortable working with different teams and managing multiple priorities
• A proactive mindset with a desire to learn and grow in a new area
• A graduate degree is ideal, but not essential
• MCIPS qualification (or working towards it) is a plus, but not required

What's in It for You:

• Full support and mentoring to help you transition into the procurement field
• A clear path for career development in a well-established and expanding organisation
• Flexible working options and a focus on wellbeing and work-life balance
• Competitive salary and a comprehensive benefits package

This is more than just a job change - it's a chance to build a long-term career in a purchasing role. If you're ready to take your customer service skills in an exciting new direction, we'd love to hear from you.
