**About Sunseeker International**

Sunseeker founders dreamt of building a new kind of motoryacht. Since our earliest days, we’ve revolutionised the motor yacht industry. Our drive for perfection has seen us trailblaze our own unique path to the top of the ladder, using our passion and ambition to innovate and energise.

In an era of digital production and automated assembly, we stay committed to creating hand-built, hand-finished vessels. But it takes the world’s finest colleagues to build the world’s finest motoryachts. Technical and design excellence is fundamental to the very fabric of being an iconic yacht manufacturer. Expert hands and extraordinary attention to detail. Passed from generation to generation, these are the valuable skills we seek to drive our future success.

**About the role**

A global manufacturing organisation, such as Sunseeker International, requires a dynamic, collective, and efficient Procurement team.
