Descrição da oferta de emprego

Strategic Buyer (NPI) - Poole - up to £50,000 per annum

Shape how a growing engineering manufacturer buys, as a Strategic Buyer (NPI) in Poole on £50,000.
This is a brand new role in a newly formed strategic procurement team, so you'll help build something rather than inherit it.
You'll lead sourcing for new products from first design to launch, with your influence felt across the whole business.

As a Strategic Buyer (NPI), you will benefit from:

• A brand new role, with the chance to help build a strategic procurement function from the ground up
• Working with a Head of Supply Chain who has spent 25 years building strategic supply chain teams
• A growing business that is part of a respected global engineering group
• Real variety, with more than half your sourcing international and travel across the UK and overseas
• Encouragement to develop towards a recognised supply chain qualification
• A visible role, working with Engineering, Manufacturing and senior stakeholders across the business

As a Strategic Buyer (NPI), your responsibilities will include:

• Leading procurement for new product introduction and engineering change projects for direct materials, from concept through to launch
• Developing sourcing strategies, researching and assessing new suppliers worldwide, and challenging the capability of existing ones
• Leading supplier selection, onboarding and part approval (APQP, PPAP, FAI) through to production readiness
• Negotiating price and terms using Total Cost of Ownership, owning target cost against the BOM, and building make vs buy proposals
• Identifying and reducing supply chain risks, and driving continuous improvement and cost-saving programmes

As a Strategic Buyer (NPI), your experience will include:

• 3+ years in strategic sourcing, ideally with direct materials in manufacturing or engineering (a fast-paced sector such as food would also be considered)
• New product introduction or industrialisation projects, with achievements you can back up with numbers
• Managing international suppliers and building strong supplier relationships
• Strong commercial, financial and analytical skills, with the confidence to influence at all levels
• A full UK driving licence, and willingness to travel in the UK and overseas
