**Senior Buyer | Food Manufacturing | Greater Manchester**
~£45-50k
Bored? Not being stretched at work? Are things moving too slowly? This could be for you.

This role moves quickly and will stretch you to juggle lots of different buying and sourcing projects across multiple chilled food categories. No two days will ever be the same and you will learn and develop quickly.

The business is growing and has acquired another factory recently with millions invested in recent years. The business is very focused on its people and teamwork. So, you'll have some great people around you to learn from and help you deliver on your projects.

You will have autonomy and be empowered to deliver results and make decisions.

Yes, there will still be some admin involved on SAP booking in products and orders, but you'll also be buying new ingredients for NPD, buying challenging commodities where you will need to track price trends, as well as buying some staple products with a big spend. As you develop within the business you will also look at other projects to help deliver savings.

You might be bored at work again.

Day-to-day you'll be negotiating with suppliers, placing orders, going out on supplier visits, hosting suppliers to visit the factories, developing supplier strategies etc - all things that you would expect from a senior buying role.

It would be great if you had a relevant qualification such as a CIPS but don't worry if not, as long as you have experience in buying within the food sector and demonstrate the right behaviours, our client can offer you the training and development.

Interested?

I'd be keen to speak to you and explore your background in more detail if you are.
