Warwick, United Kingdom Eden Blake Procurement & Supply Chain Search Full time

If you're a strategic procurement professional with experience in the Electrical, Electro-Mechanical or Hydraulic space and fancy a new challenge with a market leading, progressive family-owned automotive manufacturing business, working for a highly engaging line manager then this could be just what you're looking for


What's on offer?


  • Base salary of £55,000 to £60,000
  • 5% employer pension contribution
  • 25 days holiday + bank holidays
  • Hybrid working (2 days a week from home, one of which is a Friday)
  • Health Shield Medical Cash Plan - claim back medical expenses such as prescriptions, dental, optical, physio and more
  • 37 hours a week Flexitime - flex your start/finish time around core business hours.


What will you be doing?


Reporting into the Head of Procurement & Supply Chain, you'll be taking on full end to end strategic and operational responsibility for circa £20m worth of spend across the Electrical, Electro-Mechanical and Hydraulic commodities. Managing a small team of 2, you'll define commodity strategies that will develop the supply chain and identify new supplier opportunities that focus on risk reduction rather than cost reduction, working closely with the Group purchasing function to exit high risk, under performing suppliers and manage the transition to new, more stable providers. You'll lead the supplier performance and relationship management activity for your commodities, ensuring suppliers are performing against your negotiated contract terms and conditions. The current supplier base is focused mainly in the UK, Turkey, Poland, India and Slovakia, and there is potential this will also include China in the future. You'll be working closely with multiple functions across the business, most notably Engineering.


Who will you be doing it for?


You'll be joining a successful, profitable, cash rich automotive manufacturing business that offers significant long term career stability and progression opportunities. There are countless examples across the business of employees that have been with them for over 10 years and can evidence progressive career development. As an organisation, they currently employ circa 1000 staff in the UK and are expanding their operations in the US as well. They turnover £350m and benefit from being part of a larger, €1b turnover privately owned Group that have a significant history in this particular market, and offer major long term investment security to ensure the business is taking every opportunity to grow and continually better itself. You'll be working out of great modern offices that offer a first class working environment.


What do you need to bring to the party?


To be successful in this role it's expected that you'll be able to demonstrate the majority of the following skills and experience:


  • Proven experience holding commodity/category responsibility for Electrical/Hydraulic/Electro-Mechanical procurement in a manufacturing environment, ideally automotive
  • Previous people management experience is advantageous, although not essential if you can demonstrate the right leadership traits required to successfully manage
  • Experience working, and negotiating, with international suppliers
  • Willing and able to travel across the UK and EU as and when required - you'll be responsible for your own travel diary
  • Strong interpersonal and communication skills
  • Willing and able to be on-site at the Warwick office 3 days a week


If the above sounds like the next step in your already successful career, and you’d like to learn more, apply today with a copy of your CV, LinkedIn profile or whatever you have for immediate consideration – every application is reviewed by a person, and everyone will get a response, it’s the least you deserve.
