Senior Buyer
Are you a confident Senior Buyer with excellent negotiation skills, the ability to forge robust relationships and have a sound understanding of component manufacturing?
This is a great opportunity to take the reins of an international purchasing strategy and help shape a resilient, cost-efficient supply chain.
The Opportunity:
This is not your typical purchasing role. As Senior Buyer, you’ll:
* Own the global supply strategy for precision-machined components.
* Drive innovation in sourcing and supplier development across international markets.
* Negotiate competitive agreements to deliver value without compromising quality.

What You’ll Do:
* Manage and optimise global commodity supply chains, ensuring OTIF performance.
* Negotiate favourable pricing and terms to secure the best deals.
* Develop new supplier relationships in key markets (including Asia, Europe, North America).
* Analyse market trends and proactively mitigate risks.
* Improve ERP data accuracy and inventory strategies for maximum efficiency.
* Resolve supplier issues swiftly and effectively to maintain smooth operations.
What I'm Looking For:
A commercially astute, globally minded procurement professional with:
* Proven experience in international purchasing of precision-machined parts.
* Strong track record of supplier negotiations and relationship management.
* Knowledge of ERP/MRP systems and inventory optimisation.
* Ability to think strategically, manage risk, and deliver innovative solutions.
* Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
Desirable:
* Degree in Engineering, Supply Chain, or related field.
* Exposure to sourcing exotic materials.
* Willingness to travel internationally when required.
What’s in It for You?
* Competitive salary (£45–£60k DOE) + comprehensive benefits
* The chance to join a prestigious, fast-growing company without corporate red tape.
* A dynamic, supportive environment that encourages innovation and personal growth.
