Job title: Junior Buyer - Packaging and Intercompany Goods

Reporting to: Global Procurement Manager

Location: Bury St. Edmunds, Suffolk (Hybrid working opportunities available)

Hours: 37.5 hours per week

**The Opportunity**

The Junior Buyer will drive the implementation of the strategy for packaging procurement.

The post holder will also provide support to other global buyers in key areas such as sustainability, running weekly material requirements reports, ensuring timely and accurate shipment details, among others. In addition, this role will ensure the successful movement of products between the UK and US manufacturing locations, using a procurement lens to manage demand (customer order and internal demand), shipments and inventory levels. The intercompany shipments will require collaboration with cross-functional colleagues at both sites. Being a champion of teamwork within the Global Procurement team as well as across other departments is critical for success in this role.

We think Treatt’s a great place to work, but don’t just take our word for it:
“Everyone wants your feedback and opinion; it feels like a place of study where nurturing and encouragement are the standard. It is very clear the hard work that goes into providing excellence for customers, but it is also very apparent that managers have the same goals for helping us all to progress.” - Anita, Quality Analyst

“Joining my close and supportive team was the most enjoyable way to gain more skills and increase my knowledge” - Ashley, Distillation Control Team Leader

“Treatt creates an environment to help you be the best you can, with no two days the same and opportunities always available to help you learn and develop. The people and the culture create a fantastic company to be part of” - Rebecca, Customer Care Team Leader

**What you’ll be doing**

The responsibilities of this role include but are not limited to:

- Ensure available supplies of packaging and all intercompany goods by raising purchase orders and internal work orders
- Work with suppliers and cross-functional colleagues to ensure timely delivery of goods, troubleshooting as needed
- Investigate and implement ways of reducing cost by way of alternative supplier sourcing, increasing payment terms, and /or negotiating better prices
- Maintain awareness of packaging and freight market conditions, packaging supply issues, identify and mitigate supply and quality risk, and communicate relevant information to key internal and external stakeholders
- Manage appropriate inventory levels at both UK and US sites to meet customer and internal demand
- Run contract reports and MRP for use within the UK buying team
- Work closely with the Quality team and packaging suppliers to ensure accurate specifications and to identify potential future needs and ensure regulatory compliance
- Review inventory reports and cascade data to stakeholders
- Maintain and update key procurement tools and resources (spreadsheets, reports, dashboards)
- Assist global procurement team with ongoing sustainability initiatives and reporting
- Perform such other tasks as are consistent with the general role description and job title
- Behave in all ways congruent with Treatt values, keeping health and safety at the forefront of everything

**What we’re looking for**
