About this opportunity

We have a new vacancy based in Shipley for two Senior Strategic Buyers. 

Your mission in CMbE

The Senior Strategic Buyers will lead the procurement of high-value, precision-engineered components and specialist services for complex machine tool manufacturing operations. This role ensures a robust and compliant supply chain, delivering long-term value through effective negotiation, risk management, and supplier performance improvement. They will apply technical knowledge, contractual expertise, and strategic sourcing approaches to maintain smooth operations in a regulated, high-quality manufacturing environment.

About you

The ideal candidate will bring a strong understanding of strategic sourcing, contract law, and supplier management, coupled with commercial acumen and the ability to negotiate complex agreements. You will have a proven track record in strategic supplier management and category management, supported by at least five years' procurement experience within a manufacturing or engineering environment (e.g. ISO). Technical appreciation, including interpreting engineering drawings and quality standards, is essential, as is experience in cost reduction initiatives, supplier development, and change management. Strong IT literacy, particularly with Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)/ Manufacturing Resource Planning (MRP) systems such as SAP, is required, alongside excellent communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively across teams.

Candidates must hold a minimum of a bachelor's degree in supply chain, Engineering, Business, or a related field, with a CIPS certification preferred. We are looking for a proactive, solution-focused professional who is commercially astute, resilient, and highly organised. You will be a strong negotiator and influencer at all levels, with strategic thinking and problem-solving ability. The successful candidate will thrive in a dynamic environment, build strong supplier relationships, and are committed to delivering best value and continuous improvement.
