The successful candidate must be able to work both independently and as part of a small close-knit team. We're a fast moving start up, and a 'can do' attitude is essential.

The day-to-day responsibilities:


• Raise Purchase Orders for consumables and commodities


• Raise Purchase Orders for Production and prototype components


• Convert Purchase Requests from iDocuments into SAP B1


• Daily close Liaison with Key Suppliers


• Monitor and manage stock levels of consumables and fasteners

• Switched on and can take the initiative, you don't need to be told what to do all the time. We want people who look for problems and solve them without being asked.


• Self-motivating - you'll have full support along the way, but we won't hold your hand throughout.


• Ability to use Excel / PowerPoint / Outlook. Experience in Slack is useful, but not critical

…and lots more. Being a start-up, we'd expect whoever assumes the role to have adaptability, flexibility, and can-do attitude.

Details / perks:


• Full time in at The Little Car Company's brand-new HQ at Bicester Heritage, the UK's first automotive campus. It is a stunning place for any car enthusiast to be based.
