You will manage mature series production supplier subcontracts and you will undertake activities such as ensuring supplier delivery in line with contract obligations to support both Domestic and Export Customers, negotiating value for money future pricing arrangements, bidding for new business and placing subsequent subcontracts, managing supplier obsolescence issues and deploying mitigation strategies.
What We’re Looking for From You:
- Experience in contract management and negotiation in customer/supplier environment
- Determination: day-to-day problem solving in an exciting commercial environment is a key part, so you will need to be comfortable in asking and answering difficult questions, challenging yourself and others to common goals, organising both people and situations
- Communication: reporting and co-operation with internal and external partners
- Assertiveness: continually seek ways to maximise on opportunities
- Qualified in a business subject area with procurement or supply chain accreditations, or equivalent experience
- UK and European Travel to suppliers required
