If you’re looking for more than a typical purchasing role — one where you can help build, shape, and grow something from the ground up — this could be the perfect next step. Join a thriving UK business as it expands into new markets and launches several exciting ventures.
Neon Search are representing a long-established UK business that’s entering an exciting phase of expansion, with several new ventures launching under its umbrella. This is a newly created role offering genuine autonomy, variety, and the opportunity to shape how purchasing and supply chain operations evolve across multiple businesses.
As Purchasing Manager, you’ll:
* Lead the purchasing and supplier management function across a group of growing brands.
* Develop supplier partnerships and negotiate terms to drive cost efficiency and quality.
* Oversee stock and inventory levels across multiple sites and online channels.
* Implement and improve purchasing processes and systems to support ongoing growth.
* Work closely with senior leadership to ensure the purchasing strategy aligns with the wider business vision.
* This is a broad, hands-on role with real ownership — ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-moving environment and enjoys building structure from the ground up.
We’re looking for someone who:
* Has strong experience in purchasing or procurement, ideally within a fast-paced or multi-site setting.
* CIPS qualification would be a benefit but not essential
* Has a proactive, commercial mindset with excellent negotiation skills.
* Is comfortable managing suppliers, inventory, and systems independently.
* Brings energy, initiative, and the ability to make things happen in an entrepreneurial environment.
* Experience in e-commerce or growing SME businesses would be a bonus — but what matters most is adaptability and drive.
This is a rare opportunity to step into a pivotal role at a time of real growth and momentum. You’ll have visibility, impact, and the freedom to influence how purchasing operates across several consumer brands — while being part of a supportive, forward-thinking team.
If you’re looking for variety, autonomy, and a role where you can genuinely shape how things are done, we’d love to hear from you.
