With a continuous drive to bring new smart solutions to homes across the world, the company’s product portfolio is ever increasing. With this comes the need for a strategically focused buyer to work with the design engineering team to identify and develop relationships with global suppliers of electrical components.

The company boasts an outstanding local reputation as an employer of choice, featuring a positive and engaged workforce and a modernised working environment. If you’re looking for a place where your contributions are valued, and where teamwork and collaboration are at its core, then this is the perfect fit for you

What you’ll be responsible for…

Principally this is a role focused on direct spend, purchasing materials and components from a global supplier base. Working within a skilled supply chain team whose spend budget is c€25m, you’ll be responsible for a large chunk of this, specifically on the electronic components side.

Your day to day will include…

* Set up and application of terms, including the pricing, of purchased component parts as procured within the factory.

* Supporting the procurement / planning team to ensure the timing and accurate supply of purchased parts within the factory.

* Being the first point of contact relating to any direct material purchasing activities within the factory.

* Providing operational support in the procurement and management of all indirect purchase areas including services and capital.

You’ll be great for this role…

Candidates with proven experience in a strategic senior buyer role within a volume manufacturing business are exactly who are client is looking for. It’s likely that you’re already qualified or working towards CIPS, but if you can demonstrate your suitability through experience alone, that’s great too.

* High level of computer/ERP literacy including knowledge of business reporting, forecasting, financial and business systems

* Adept at working in a cross-functional teams, with a clear appreciation of those team inter-dependencies (operations, finance, supply chain)

* Project and process management including an understanding of business process re-engineering methodologies.

* Experience in working on NPI project teams in the sourcing and selection of new components/materials

* Strong negotiation, analytical and communication skills

What’s in it for you?

As you’d expect from a leading global company with a strong employer brand, not only will you receive an excellent base salary, but there’s also a really attractive benefits package. How about 36 days holiday (inclusive of bank holidays)? Bonus scheme; Generous pension contribution; health and wellbeing package…and loads more
