Level 5 Senior Category Manager, Procurement The Senior Category Manager is responsible for owning and driving the strategic direction for one or more significant spend categories across the business. This means you'll be looking at everything from market trends and supplier capabilities to our internal business needs, then stitching it all together into a plan that delivers real value. You're not just reacting to requests; you're proactively shaping how we spend our money in your area, making sure we're getting the best bang for our buck, reducing risk, and keeping things running smoothly.

When this role is done well, we save a decent chunk of cash, our suppliers are reliable, and our internal teams get what they need, when they need it, without fuss. If it's not done well, we end up paying too much, getting shoddy service, or even running into supply chain problems that can really mess things up for our customers.

If you do this well, we'll see significant savings hitting our bottom line, our operations will run smoother because we're not constantly chasing late deliveries, and we'll have much stronger relationships with the companies we rely on. Get it wrong, and we could end up overpaying for critical services, dealing with flaky suppliers, or even facing supply chain disruptions that stop us from delivering to our customers. The tricky part is often getting everyone internally on the same page, especially when different departments have different ideas about what 'value' really means.

Your job is to translate complex business requirements into watertight contracts, making sure that what's agreed on paper actually works in practice.

The reward, though, is seeing your efforts directly improve our products and services, knowing you've built strong, lasting relationships that genuinely benefit the business. View
Level 3 Supplier Development Manager As a Supplier Development Manager, you'll independently run projects aimed at improving the performance of our suppliers. This means you'll be digging into their operations, spotting problems, and helping them fix things, which directly impacts our production lines and customer satisfaction. You'll sit right between our internal Engineering, Quality, and Operations teams and our external suppliers, translating our needs into actionable improvements for them. When you do this well, we get fewer defects, fewer delays, and ultimately, happier customers. If things go sideways, though, we could face production shutdowns or costly quality issues, which nobody wants. The tricky part is often getting suppliers to invest time and money in changes that benefit us, even if it's good for them in the long run. The reward, honestly, is seeing a tangible improvement: a supplier who couldn't hit 90% on-time delivery now consistently hitting 98%, or a complex quality issue finally being put to bed for good.

Level 3 Supplier Management Assistant The Supplier Management Assistant is responsible for making sure our suppliers are set up correctly, paid on time, and generally kept happy. You'll be the go-to person for all the day-to-day stuff that keeps our supply chain moving, which directly impacts our ability to get products to customers or services delivered to our teams. You'll sit right in the middle of our Procurement Operations team, translating business needs into proper supplier records and making sure our systems reflect reality. When you do this job well, our suppliers get paid without fuss, our internal teams get what they need, and we avoid those awkward calls about overdue invoices. If it's not done well, frankly, things grind to a halt: suppliers stop shipping, projects get delayed, and we look a bit disorganised. The tricky part is juggling multiple urgent requests while keeping an eye on the details. The reward? You'll be a critical cog in the machine, knowing that your work directly enables the entire company to function. View
Level 5 Supplier Management Manager The Supplier Management Manager is here to lead our team of supplier experts, making sure we get the best from our key partners and keep our supply chain running smoothly. Day-to-day, you'll be overseeing the whole supplier lifecycle, from getting new ones set up properly to making sure they're performing well and managing any tricky situations. This role sits right at the heart of our Procurement function, translating our overall business strategy into concrete plans for how we work with suppliers. You'll take the big-picture goals from the Director of SRM and figure out how your team actually delivers on them, making sure we're always getting good value and managing risk. When you do this job well, our business units get what they need on time, within budget, and without nasty surprises. If it goes wrong, we could face production delays, unhappy customers, or even reputational damage. The tricky part is balancing cost pressures with building strong, long-term relationships, all while keeping your team motivated. The reward, though, is seeing your team develop, knowing you've built a resilient supply chain, and directly impacting the company's bottom line. View
Level 3 Supplier Management Specialist As a Supplier Management Specialist, you'll independently look after a portfolio of our non-critical suppliers, making sure they meet our expectations and help our business run smoothly. This means you'll be checking their performance, dealing with routine problems, and keeping our supplier records accurate. You'll sit right in the middle of our Procurement team, working with Category Managers and the business units that use these suppliers, translating what we need into clear instructions for our vendors. When you do this job well, our operations won't hit any unexpected bumps because of supplier issues, and we'll keep a good handle on our costs. 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
