Six different automotive brands. Group Functions. Trade specialists.

We have an exciting opportunity to join our Procurement team as a Buyer on a Fixed Term Contract.

Our centralised Procurement team sits at the heart of our dynamic business, working with all brands and functions as well as with Volkswagen Financial Services and our other prestigious sister companies within the UK to achieve quality and value through commercial excellence. The team is incredibly fast-paced and you'll be joining at an exciting time, with the team collaborating with their stakeholders on a wide range of transformational activity.

The Buyer role supports delivery of projects and value generation in the Logistics and Facilities Management indirect spend area covering vehicle and parts distribution, warehousing & storage, property acquisition & maintenance, and utilities as well as other diverse business services. You will be providing commercial guidance and where necessary coaching and supporting your stakeholders on Procurement process and policy.

This is a broad role and as a result you'll need multiple skills and abilities to ensure that you're a success. You'll need to have a keen eye for detail and a strong commercial acumen. As you'll have the autonomy to lead on your projects you'll need to be a self-starter, who can operate independently in accordance to the category strategies agreed with your Line Manager.

Volkswagen Group is one of the most successful automotive manufacturers in the world, with some of the most iconic brands that the industry has ever seen. But we're also a great Sales, Marketing and Digital operation in our own right. Last year over 350,000 cars and vans were registered from the Volkswagen Group UK brands, achieving a market share of over 22% and confirming our position as the leading automotive company in the UK.

With a global target to be balance-sheet CO2 neutral by the year 2050, we are leading the automotive transition to zero emission battery electric vehicles. We're focusing on key strategic initiatives to help us become the leading provider of mobility services in the UK, digital sales, the next generation of aftersales and new efficient distribution structures to name a few.

We have a unique culture, built on difference and a friendly rivalry that inspires us all. Across our business, we learn from each other, encourage each other and regularly challenge each other to think differently. Our people have a true passion for what they do, a genuine desire to go further for customers and to give their own careers real momentum at the same time.
