This is a newly created Product & Purchasing Coordinator role within a growing and well-funded business that is building out its operational and manufacturing capability.
As the business scales, there is a need to strengthen coordination across product, purchasing and supplier activity. This role has been designed to remove bottlenecks, improve visibility and ensure smooth day-to-day operations across sourcing, production and product readiness.
You’ll sit at the centre of multiple workflows – working closely with suppliers, internal teams and operational leadership – helping ensure everything is aligned from initial sourcing through to product launch. This is an excellent opportunity to join a business at an early stage of growth, where you can make a tangible impact and develop alongside the organisation.
The Role
This is a hands-on coordination role focused on purchasing, product administration and supplier management. You’ll be responsible for supporting the flow of information, materials and documentation across the business, ensuring everything is organised, accurate and delivered on time.
The role combines administration, supplier coordination and operational support, and will suit someone who enjoys structure, detail and working across multiple moving parts. As the business grows, there will be opportunities to take on greater ownership and expand your responsibilities across product, purchasing and manufacturing operations.
What You’ll Be Doing
* Tracking supplier quotes and ensuring timely responses and comparisons
* Raising and managing purchase orders in line with agreed pricing and terms
* Supporting supplier onboarding and maintaining supplier documentation
* Liaising with suppliers to request, chase and manage required information
* Requesting and managing technical product documentation (e.g. certifications and data sheets)
* Maintaining compliance records and ensuring all documentation is accurate and accessible
* Managing product sample logs, including tracking testing and approvals
* Supporting product setup, packaging and launch readiness
* Updating and maintaining product and supplier data within internal systems
* Ensuring all product, supplier and compliance data remains accurate and up to date
* Coordinating testing activity and tracking progress and results
* Supporting production coordination across internal and third-party manufacturing
* Liaising with suppliers and partners to track production timelines and delivery
* Sourcing and coordinating materials required for production
* Highlighting any risks to timelines, supply or product availability
What We’re Looking For
This role will suit someone who is highly organised, detail-focused and comfortable working across multiple operational areas. You’ll enjoy managing information, coordinating activity and ensuring nothing falls through the cracks.
You’ll bring:
* Experience in purchasing, product coordination, supply chain or administrative roles
* Strong organisational skills and excellent attention to detail
* Confidence managing data, documentation and spreadsheets
* The ability to manage multiple tasks and priorities simultaneously
* Strong communication skills and confidence liaising with suppliers and internal teams
* A proactive, structured and solution-focused mindset
* Reliability and consistency, with a strong sense of ownership
* Experience in manufacturing, product or supply chain environments is beneficial but not essential
Why This Role
This is an opportunity to join a business at an exciting stage of growth, where new products, suppliers and operational processes are being built from the ground up. You’ll play a key role in ensuring the business runs smoothly behind the scenes, supporting everything from sourcing through to production and product launch. With exposure across multiple areas of the business, this role offers genuine variety and the opportunity to grow into more senior responsibilities as the company continues.
