But the job doesn’t just end there. In their pursuit of excellence, our team is tasked with managing the introduction of a vast array of bespoke features from a diverse range of specialised, sustainable sources.

  • Being a skilled negotiator who understands how to analyse costs and negotiate prices with suppliers to ensure the best possible value for money, while taking into account design, volume, and timing constraints.
  • Demonstrating expertise in project management processes to ensure that all parts are supplied according to the required quality standards and within the planned delivery timeline.
  • Proactively resolving supplier issues and fostering a collaborative approach to developing business relationships with all parties involved.
  • Possessing a minimum of 3 years of purchasing management experience and the ability to lead teams within a complex new product development environment.
