5 days ago
_Do you fancy a change? Do you want a new challenge? Would you like to work for a company where every employee has private medical insurance for them and their family, and every employee has lunch and snacks provided free..every day?_
Search Consulltancy is delighted to be retained to find an ambitious Procurement Manager to join a fantastic family-run business, as part of a broader recruitment campaign to prepare the business for their exciting future growth plans as the business looksto double its turnover in the next 3 years.
**A little about the job**:
As the first externally-sourced Procurement Manager for the business, this is a fantastic opportunity to really make your mark in what is an almost-greenfield opportunity.
The procurement function plays a critical role in our excellent customer service; ensuring that we have the right products, in the right quantities, available in our warehouse at the right time - and at the right price.
As a business that prides itself on two things - product quality, and next-day product availability, this Procurement role is a little different. Rather than focusing on lowest-cost country sourcing from locations such as the Far East, the majority of thesupply chain is based in the UK and the rest of Europe - meaning that freight costs and lead times are reduced, as is damage in transit. Equally this more local sourcing model will enable you to truly partner with your suppliers as you move towards a SupplierRelationship Management model.
You will work closely with the Operations Director and the rest of the Warehouse team in order to ensure that the correct stock levels are being maintained - but this will never be a Just In Time business, as this would damage the USP of next-day delivery.That being said, the current stock holding is definitely a little 'flabby' and there is room for it to be leaner and more efficient.
Currently, procurement processes within the business are very manual, so there will be a strong focus on systems improvement to create and maintain a high performance, results led environment. Experience of sourcing and implementing a stock management /optimisation system or mini-ERP would be an advantage.
Managing a small team, you'll proactively identify areas for improvement, propose potential solutions and then implement the agreed outcomes on time, in full, 99%+ of the time.
**The benefits**:
Free food, drinks, and snacks on-site
Employee discounts on our products
Free on-site parking
Company events
Christmas shut down, every year
Your birthday off, plus a further 23 day days rising to 25 days plus bank holidays
Private Medical Insurance for you and your family
Life Assurance and innovative Employee Assistance program (EAP)
**The specifics**:
Report to the Financial Director
Based in our newly refurbished offices in Hereford (HR2)
Hybrid working considered
Salary range £40k - £55k
**A little about you**:
- Strong Procurement / Buying experience, ideally within an SME environment
- Essential to have a positive attitude (glass must be half full)
- Desire to improve processes
- Great system/software skills - must be familiar with Excel formulas (such as vlookups), be a competent ERP user and in a perfect world, have experience of Inventory Optimisation software
- Meticulous attention to detail
**This role would suit an ambitious, up-and-coming Senior Buyer or experienced Procurement, Purchasing or Buying Manager with specific experience within finished goods sourcing within the UK and Europe in an organisation where the focus is on highestquality rather than lowest price.
