Non Food - SDF Operations Controller Why join us We're a household name - and a trusted one. So we need to make sure that the value and quality we provide in our stores and online starts with our suppliers. It means building relationships that help you reach targets. Which will be second nature to a negotiator like you. What you'll do You'll manage day-to-day relationships with suppliers to make sure SLAs are being met. That will see you analyse and interpret data to assess performance, challenging suppliers where KPIs aren't being reached and putting measures in place to solve it. And by ensuring that suppliers are updating their inventories, you'll see that stock availability is maximised. It's a role which will involve working closely with the trading teams and providing insights into supplier performance to support buying decisions or identify opportunities. You'll also create reports, share performance, chair meetings and put your point across to both external suppliers and internal stakeholders. Additionally, you'll have end-to-end ownership of the new supplier set-up process - you'll effectively be launching new suppliers which will impact the business as a whole. Who you are Experience in account handling, buying or merchandising would be a plus, but it's essential that you're a natural negotiator. In fact, you'll be a clear and confident communicator all round, and be just as talented at analysis. The role involves a fair amount of travel, so you should be comfortable with that.
