Head of Purchasing

1 month ago


United Kingdom SPE Resourcing Full time

Our client is an incredible business to work for. Firmly rooted in a culture of people and customer first they run hospitality sites throughout the north. The focus is on quality - experience, product and people culture. It is a culture lacking in politics but one of real team ethic and team spirit - one where everyone pulls in the same direction.

In order to aid continued growth they're looking to appoint for a brand new role, someone to head up and lead their Purchasing function - a Head of Purchasing.

With a spare of over £50m it is large enough to have a real impact on business performance but small enough to wrap your arms around it. The role reports directly to the board and, as such, you would have real autonomy in your day-to-day activity, namely:

  • Maintaining, building and developing relationships with existing and new suppliers
  • Looking at existing processes and systems and building business cases for reviewing, changing and implementing as appropriate
  • Adding true measurable value to the P & L
  • Working closely with other teams internally (ops, marketing etc) ensuring Purchasing is considered in all decisions across the business
  • Leading supplier reviews, tendering and contract negotiation

You will come from an FMCG, retail, or hospitality background with significant experience in Procurement, Purchasing, Buying or broad Commercial roles. You will be strong commercially and a great negotiator; driven and someone that can communication both upwards, across and down.

In the first instance please contact Daniel Cornwell for an initial discussion - using the link to apply or via email directly - daniel@speresourcing.co.uk
