Join to apply for the Senior Buyer role at Aston Martin Lagonda Ltd

For over 110 years, Aston Martin has created some of the world’s most iconic performance sports cars. But we don’t do it alone. Behind every car we build are teams of talented individuals — thinkers, makers, and doers — who come together to achieve something extraordinary.

Now, as we accelerate into a bold new era, we’re looking for passionate people to write the next chapter in our journey to become the world’s most desirable ultra-luxury British performance brand.

This is where you come in.

The Role

We're looking for a Senior Buyer to join our team at our Gaydon site. In this role, you’ll be a key player in sourcing and delivering the parts and services that power our next-generation vehicles. Whether you're developing Electrical, Powertrain, Chassis, or Body commodity areas you’ll be helping shape the future of Aston Martin.

You’ll lead the development of commodity strategies, manage supplier relationships, and proactively mitigate risks — all while identifying cost-saving opportunities and ensuring we meet technical, quality, and timing targets.

You’ll also play a vital leadership role by managing and developing a team of buyers, so strong people management experience is essential.

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for someone with solid experience in a senior buying or procurement role, ideally within a manufacturing environment. Automotive experience is preferred, but we also welcome expertise from other sectors such as aerospace or motorsport. You’ll be confident evaluating costs, negotiating with suppliers, and influencing internal stakeholders. A collaborative mindset, excellent communication skills, and a proactive, strategic approach will help you thrive in this role. While a degree is desirable, your experience and attitude are what matter most.

Why Join Us?

At Aston Martin, you’ll be part of a passionate, high-performing team working on some of the most exciting and innovative projects in the automotive world. We offer a hybrid working model, giving you the flexibility to combine office presence with remote work. This is a unique opportunity to make a real impact at a globally recognised brand — to contribute to our legacy while helping to shape what comes next.

Apply now and bring your drive to our journey.
