We are Manufacturing the Future! Geomiq is revolutionizing traditional manufacturing by providing engineers worldwide with instant access to reliable production methods through our digital platform. As the UK’s leading Digital Manufacturing Marketplace, we offer an AI-powered B2B MaaS (Manufacturing as a Service) solution, seamlessly connecting buyers and suppliers to drive efficiency and innovation.

With our headquarters in London and quality branches in India, China, and Portugal, we collaborate with leading brands like BMW, Rolls‑Royce, Brompton Bikes, and Google—even contributing to space exploration.

Our platform: Geomiq offers a revolutionary platform that completely digitizes the quoting and ordering process for custom manufactured parts, ensuring the highest operational and quality outcomes. Our primary customers include Design Engineers, Mechanical Engineers, and Procurement teams, all of whom are involved in creating the world’s most innovative products.

About the role:

Geomiq is transforming how custom manufacturing works. We connect world‑class engineers and product teams with a trusted global network of manufacturing partners and manage every project from quote to delivery—ensuring quality, speed, and reliability at scale.

As a Procurement & Technical Delivery Manager, you own supplier performance and project execution. A large part of this role is active, day‑to‑day communication—brokering outcomes between customers, sales, logistics, and suppliers to move projects forward. You combine deep technical understanding of precision manufacturing with strong commercial judgement to deliver margin improvement, quality, and on‑time delivery across our global supply chain.

This role sits within our Hubs function, where we value disciplined operators, clear communication, and ownership.

Main responsibilities:

Procurement, Negotiation & Cost Control

• Allocate orders to manufacturing partners based on capability, commercial terms, risk profile, and Hub performance
• Lead pricing and commercial negotiations with suppliers, brokering agreements that balance cost, lead time, and risk
• Support contract reviews for customer sales agreements and supplier purchase orders

Technical Vetting & Quality Assurance

• Review engineering drawings, 3D files, and specifications (including GD&T and tolerances)
• Lead pre‑award technical clarification with suppliers to surface and resolve manufacturability risks early
• Partner with Quality teams on NCRs, corrective actions, and supplier performance improvement

Project Delivery, Communication & Coordination

• Own end‑to‑end delivery and on‑time performance of high‑value manufacturing projects across UK, Europe, China, and India Hubs
• Act as the central point of coordination between customers, sales, logistics, quality, and suppliers
• Proactively communicate timelines, risks, trade‑offs, and decisions—keeping all stakeholders aligned
• Broker solutions when constraints arise (price, lead time, capacity, quality), ensuring commercial and delivery outcomes are met

Experience Required:

• 4+ years in technical procurement, production engineering, or manufacturing project management
• Strong ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, GD&T, and tight tolerances
• Hands‑on experience with CNC machining (essential)
• Proven experience negotiating with suppliers and managing commercial trade‑offs
• Comfortable operating as the communication hub across technical, commercial, and operational teams

Desired experience:

• Experience managing customer‑facing manufacturing or supply‑chain roles
• Exposure to global or multi‑region supplier networks
• Background in precision manufacturing or custom‑engineered parts
• Experience handling delivery risk, expediting, or recovery plans
• Familiarity with tools such as Jira, Confluence, ERP/MRP systems, or data platforms

Benefits:

• Competitive Salary: We offer pay that reflects your skills and the value you bring.
• Stocked Kitchen: Enjoy snacks, fresh fruit, and drinks all day.
• 23 Days Annual Leave: Recharge with 23 days off, plus bank holidays.
• Birthday Off: Take an extra day to celebrate your birthday.
• Pet‑Friendly Office: Bring your dog to our pet‑friendly workspace.
• Team Events: Connect with colleagues through monthly team‑building activities.
• Career Growth: Benefit from our focus on internal promotions and development.
• Cycle to Work Scheme: Save on commuting, reduce emissions, and stay active.
• Expanding Perks: Look forward to more benefits as we grow
