If things go wrong, though, we could face delays, quality problems, and even lose money. The tricky part is often dealing with suppliers who don't always prioritise us, or internal teams who aren't quite sure what they need. But the reward? You'll get to build real relationships, solve daily puzzles, and see your work directly contribute to keeping the business humming along. View
Level 3 Supplier Relations Coordinator The Supplier Relations Coordinator is responsible for keeping our supplier relationships ticking over, especially for our non-critical but still important vendors. You'll be the one making sure everything from onboarding new suppliers to tracking their performance happens without a hitch, day in, day out. This directly impacts our operational efficiency and, frankly, keeps our business moving forward without any nasty surprises. Day-to-day, you'll sit right at the heart of our Procurement team, working closely with various internal departments and, of course, our suppliers. You're translating internal needs into clear supplier requirements and making sure those suppliers deliver. When you do this job well, our internal teams get what they need, when they need it, and our suppliers feel valued. That means fewer headaches for everyone. If things go sideways, though, we're looking at delayed projects, unhappy internal customers, and potentially damaged relationships with key partners. The challenge here is juggling multiple priorities and making sure the details don't slip through the cracks. But the reward? You get to see your work directly contribute to the smooth running of the company, and you'll build some really solid professional relationships along the way. View
Level 3 Supplier Relationship Coordinator The Supplier Relationship Coordinator is responsible for keeping our supplier relationships running smoothly, day in, day out. You'll be the go-to person for a good chunk of our supplier base, making sure they're onboarded properly, paid on time, and generally playing by the rules. This directly impacts our operational efficiency and, frankly, our ability to get products and services out the door without a hitch. You'll sit right between our internal teams – like Engineering, Marketing, and Finance – and our external suppliers. Your job is to translate our needs to them and their capabilities back to us, making sure everyone's on the same page. When you do this well, our projects run on time, our costs are kept in check, and our suppliers feel valued, which means they're more likely to go the extra mile for us. If it's not done well? Well, then you've got angry internal stakeholders, delayed projects, and suppliers who feel ignored. The challenge here is juggling lots of different priorities and personalities, often with tight deadlines. The reward, though, is seeing your efforts directly contribute to getting our products to market or keeping our services running smoothly. It's a proper lynchpin role, honestly. View
Level 3 Supplier Relationship Manager The Supplier Relationship Manager is responsible for independently managing a portfolio of suppliers, making sure they hit their targets and we're getting what we need. This isn't just about chasing invoices; it's about building solid, working relationships that help our business run smoothly. You'll sit right between our internal teams (like Operations or Marketing) and our external partners, translating what the business needs into clear expectations for suppliers, and then making sure those expectations are met. When this role is done well, our suppliers feel valued, perform better, and we avoid costly disruptions. When it's not, we end up with missed deliveries, quality issues, and internal teams getting frustrated. The tricky part is balancing our needs with what's realistic for the supplier, especially when things get tough. The reward, though, is seeing your efforts directly improve how our products get made or how our services are delivered – it's pretty satisfying when a complex supplier issue gets sorted because of your work.

Level 3 Supplier Relationship Specialist As a Supplier Relationship Specialist, you'll independently manage a portfolio of our non-critical, but still important, suppliers. This means you'll own their performance scorecards, run regular check-ins (what we call 'operational QBRs'), and sort out any day-to-day issues that pop up. You're essentially making sure these suppliers deliver on time, on budget, and to the right quality, which directly helps our operations run smoothly and keeps our customers happy. This role sits right in the middle of our Procurement team, working closely with Category Managers and often with our internal business units like Operations or IT. You'll be taking the contracts that Category Managers have negotiated and making sure they actually work in practice. When you do your job well, our suppliers become reliable partners, and our internal teams get what they need without fuss. If things go wrong, though, it can mean production delays, unhappy customers, or even wasted money. The tricky part? You're often juggling multiple supplier issues at once, and sometimes you'll need to push back on internal teams or suppliers to get things done. The reward, honestly, is seeing a supplier go from being a bit of a headache to a genuinely dependable partner, and knowing you made that happen. View
Level 3 Sustainable and Ethical Procurement Specialist The Sustainable and Ethical Procurement Specialist is responsible for managing our supplier sustainability data and initial risk screening processes. You'll be the one making sure we gather the right information from our suppliers, checking it over, and flagging anything that looks a bit off. This role sits right at the intersection of our Procurement team and our external supply base, acting as a crucial link between our ethical commitments and our day-to-day purchasing decisions. When you do this job well, we reduce our exposure to supply chain risks, like forced labour scandals or environmental damage, which means we protect our brand and keep our customers happy. If things go wrong here, we could face hefty fines, a PR nightmare, or even lose investor confidence. The challenge is often getting accurate, timely data from busy suppliers and then making sense of it all. The reward? Knowing you're making a tangible difference, helping us build a supply chain we can actually be proud of. View
