If you’re currently a Project Manager or working in procurement and looking for a project-based role that offers progressive career development with a high degree of autonomy, great coaching with a new but experienced procurement team, and in a role that will test your commercial skills, then this could be just what you’re looking for…
What’s on offer?
What will you be doing?
As a Programme Buyer, you’ll be working as part of a new function to develop low volume, high value products. You’ll work with the procurement team (who’ll take care of the actual buying part) and the Design and Engineering teams (who ultimately you’ll need to hold to account) for all projects/programmes that you manage, ensuring everything is kept on track from a procurement perspective to support the various programmes the business is running. You’ll need to have project experience from a commercial environment, ideally as a project engineer or with an engineering background.
The lead times for manufacture are long (18 months or more) but deadlines need to be met so you’ll need to have experience of implementing gateways to ensure projects run to plan.
Who will you be doing it for?
You’ll be joining a high value, low volume manufacturing business that supplies all over the world. They have both established and new talent in their team and are looking to develop and evolve a previously under-utilised procurement function, which existed purely to drive out cost, to one that embraces new ideas, new processes and delivers a best in class value adding service (as well as making the savings!).
There are lots of opportunities to make a strong and immediate impact in this role and you’ll have the benefit of working for an experienced procurement leadership team that will coach, mentor and motivate you to grow your skills and progress your career.
What do you need to bring to the party?
To be successful in this role it is expected that you’ll be able to demonstrate the majority (after all no-one’s perfect!) of the following skills and experience:
