Job Title: Procurement Lead
About the Role:
Thriving in fast-paced, high-pressure environments, you excel when complex BOMs, rapid design changes, and unpredictable lead times are the norm. This isn't your typical buyer role, we're looking for someone driven to come in and transform the procurement department, bringing bold ideas, smart solutions and massive progression opportunities for the right person.
As our Procurement Lead, you won't just manage processes, you'll transform them. You'll optimise MRP, refine master data, and create systems that work smarter in an environment where forecasts are unreliable and change is constant. Your mission: turn volatility into a competitive advantage and make the procurement department a strategic powerhouse.
What You'll Do:
1. Lead the end-to-end procurement process, balancing daily execution with long-term strategy.
2. Audit and improve MRP recommendations, adjusting parameters, buffers, and logic to ensure smarter planning.
3. Navigate last-minute engineering changes, urgent customer requests, and supply chain surprises with confidence.
4. Negotiate with suppliers to secure the best pricing, delivery, and reliability for complex, high-mix parts.
5. Collaborate with Production, Quality, NPI, and Finance teams to ensure smooth operations.
6. Drive continuous improvement initiatives...
