Buyer | Hull | Permanent
A fantastic opportunity has arisen for a Buyer to join a well-established and growing business operating within a highly specialised global supply chain environment.
This is an exciting role for someone who enjoys working in a fast-paced, collaborative setting where no two days look the same. The business has built a strong reputation within its sector and offers a supportive team culture, long-term stability and genuine opportunities to develop your career within procurement and operations.
The successful candidate will play a key role in managing supplier relationships, stock purchasing and operational procurement activities across a dynamic and fast-moving supply chain.
This position requires someone commercially aware, highly organised and adaptable - comfortable balancing both reactive Just-In-Time purchasing alongside more strategic, trend-led buying based on market demand and customer requirements.
Key Responsibilities:
* Managing purchasing activity and raising purchase orders
* Obtaining supplier quotations and negotiating pricing
* Monitoring supplier performance and spend
* Supporting stock control and inventory management
* Managing supplier returns and stock discrepancies
* Assisting with reporting, invoice queries and procurement administration
* Working closely with internal departments to maintain operational efficiency
What We’re Looking For:
* Previous buying, procurement or stock control experience
* Strong organisational and multitasking skills
* Ability to work effectively within a fast-paced environment
* Commercial awareness and strong attention to detail
* Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
* Proactive, team-oriented approach
* Confident working across multiple priorities simultaneously
* Experience within regulated industries would be advantageous, but not essential.
This is a brilliant opportunity to join a business that values collaboration, accountability and continuous improvement, whilst offering exposure to a unique and evolving market sector.
