Job description

Procurement and Supply Chain Manager

Location: This is predominantly a remote-based role, working with companies based across the UK.

Great businesses thrive on those lightbulb moments and the strength of those key relationships and collaborations that make things happen. It needs that blend of strategic planning and practical know-how, with a flair for hands-on interaction and collaborative communication.

Do you offer manager-level, strategic procurement experience? Have you led and delivered projects, from planning through to execution? Are you skilled in building credibility and buy-in from a CEO right down to the shop floor?

If so, your next career step could be joining our mission to champion UK manufacturing enterprises through training, coaching, and mentoring. At Sharing in Growth (SiG), we spearhead transformational projects and deliver tailored solutions for our client's unique objectives and obstacles.

The Opportunity…

As our next Procurement and Supply Chain Manager, you’ll liaise closely with client procurement managers and supply chain managers, applying versatility and consulting strategically with senior leadership team stakeholders. You’ll be at the heart of procurement processes, inventory management, and sales and operations planning (S&OP).

This isn’t about doing the work for them. As business transformation coaches, we don’t waltz in and rewrite the rulebook; instead, we harness and hone our client’s great ideas and goals, we transfer knowledge, and we develop theories and optimise processes. A focal point will be your skill in building rapport, engaging your clients, and earning their trust and respect.

You can expect to be working remotely, travelling to clients across the UK approximately 80% of your time, with the remaining time working from home. This is a nuanced, relationship-based role and you’ll be entrusted to manage and organise your workload.

SIG is a not-for-profit organisation that upholds values of integrity, inspiration, and purpose. We place our trust in the expertise of our team and encourage collaborative efforts to exchange best practices. Our pride lies in our reputation for wholeheartedly celebrating victories and progress, driven by a genuine passion for effecting positive change.

The Benefits…

• Enhanced Company Pension
• Private medical insurance
• The full benefits package will be discussed with shortlisted candidates
