I'm looking for a proactive and ambitious Buyer with c. 2-3 years' experience within a manufacturing environment to join this global manufacturing business on a permanent basis. With over 5,000 employees and operations in over 20 countries, this business is the number-one manufacturer within their niche.

This is a broad role where you will manage the tactical procurement across various categories including facilities, maintenance, CAPEX, PPE, technology, and professional services. You will support several key site functions and deliver consistent value and cost savings across their indirect spend portfolio.

**Here are some more details on the role**:

**To succeed in this role, you will have**:

- Ideally 2-3 years' experience in indirect procurement for a manufacturing organisation.
- End-to-end transactional and operational procurement experience, with knowledge of the relevant systems and processes used including SAP R/3 MM, SAP R/4 HANA, and SAP Ariba.
- Experience procuring technical indirect services including CAPEX, maintenance, facilities services or similar within a manufacturing environment is ideal, but not essential.
- An analytical mindset and a keen eye for detail, familiar with conducting spend analysis and reporting activities and then using these to inform strategic plans and roadmaps.
- A results-driven attitude, focused on proactively solving problems and working in close conjunction with your suppliers and stakeholders to drive forward progress.
