Are you a confident and proactive purchasing professional ready to make an impact from day one? This is your opportunity to join a collaborative team in a varied and rewarding Category Buyer role where no two days look the same.
The Role
You’ll be at the heart of indirect procurement—one day coordinating the refurbishment of a canteen, the next sourcing paint for a new project. You’ll manage category strategies, negotiate contracts, maintain supplier relationships, and identify opportunities for cost savings, inventory efficiency, and quality improvements.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Develop and execute category purchasing strategies for indirect goods and services.
- Negotiate contracts, agreements, and supplier terms with confidence.
- Build and maintain strong supplier relationships, ensuring performance meets expectations.
- Work closely with internal teams at all levels to meet strategic objectives.
- Analyse purchasing data to inform decisions and drive improvements.
What We’re Looking For
- Solid purchasing experience, ideally in indirect procurement.
- Strong contract management and negotiation skills.
- Excellent attention to detail and a proactive, can-do attitude.
- Proficiency in Microsoft Office, particularly Excel; Power BI experience a plus.
- Comfortable working independently while being a strong team player.
Why You’ll Love It Here
You’ll be joining a supportive team of six, led by a manager who values independence and initiative. This role offers the freedom to manage your own workload while contributing to team success, with the chance to get involved in a broad range of projects.
Details
- Hours: Monday–Friday, 08:00–16:00 (fully on-site)
- Contract: 12 months, likely extension
- Interview Process: 1st stage (Teams) | 2nd stage (Face-to-face)
If you thrive in a fast-paced, varied environment and are ready to hit the ground running, we’d love to hear from you.
