We are pleased to be partnering this manufacturing business based on the Derby side of the Peak District as they look to recruit a Purchasing and Supply Chain Manager. This is a newly created stand-alone role and will give the successful person an amazing opportunity to put into place a full Procurement function in place from scratch. Line managers currently do their own Purchasing. It is now time to bring it into a centralised function.

Ideally the right person will have worked for an SME before although it would be advantageous if you have large company experience as the business is part of a larger group.

It is envisaged that you will have responsibility for:

Overall responsibility for the supply of all material and services spend

Setting up processes within the team to ensure timely delivery of these goods and services and that they are procured within or below budget

Setting up and operate a purchase requisition process within the ERP system

Managing and report on material stock levels

Ensuring timely delivery of goods and services on a JIT basis

Negotiating and set up supply contracts with key suppliers to the business

Introducing and maintain an annual/bi- annual tender process

Developing and present a purchasing strategy to the senior management team

Researching and reporting on new materials that will improve the quality and competitiveness of all materials supplied to the business

Occasionally visiting and reporting on current and potential new suppliers

Setting up an invoice approval process with the accounts department

Extending the role to group in the future

Who should apply?

The role will be well suited to someone who has worked both for SME's and large manufacturing businesses. You'll have worked in a stand alone position previously and will be very hands on with proven ability of improving processes and procedures. This role needs you to be a confident character who will be comfortable challenging and being challenged. If you are CIPS qualified (or part qualified) that would be of great interest to the clients.

We specialise in Finance and HR recruitment and comfortably service the South Yorkshire, Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire, Staffordshire and Lincolnshire marketplaces.
