ISQ Recruitment is supporting a business in West Norfolk with the recruitment of a Buyer to support the purchasing of feed raw materials for UK operations.
You’ll join a small procurement team and report into the Procurement Manager. The business is looking for someone with exposure to the UK agricultural supply chain and feed raw materials - whether that comes from buying, trading, merchanting, milling, feed, or supplier-side experience - and who wants to build on that experience and take on broader responsibility over time.
Hybrid working is available, although you should expect to spend more time on site during the initial onboarding period. Due to the location and nature of the role - own transport is required.
The Role
* Purchasing feed raw materials within the UK supply chain
* Supporting supplier negotiations, contracts and renewals
* Monitoring pricing and supply conditions to support buying decisions
* Managing supplier relationships and day-to-day commercial communication
* Working with internal stakeholders to understand requirements and volumes
* Using Excel and internal systems to track pricing, purchasing activity and supplier data
* Occasional national travel (typically once or twice per quarter, mileage paid)
What We’re Looking For
* Background within agriculture or the agricultural supply chain
* Exposure to grain or crop commodities such as wheat, barley or similar agricultural commodities
* Experience within buying, trading, merchanting or supply chain environments
* Understanding of contracts and purchasing agreements
* Comfortable working with data in Excel
* Looking to grow responsibility over time (this is not a senior-level hire)
Package
* Salary highly competitive for this type of role
* Hybrid working arrangement
* Benefits package included (shared during the process)
* Mileage paid for business travel
