Procurement Officer

Stamford

£30,000 - £35,000

One company that everyone wants to work for is recruiting a new member of the team to support the Head of Procurement. This will suit a buyer who is looking to take on their own projects, work with suppliers and enjoy the autonomy of working off your own steam.

Your main responsibility will be to help with the improvement of the procurement on a global scale to work with suppliers and the internal staff to ensure a seamless process.

Your day will be busy but varied and will require great attention to detail to include:

Help improve the current process

Find solutions to problems

Manage risk

Make purchases on behalf of the company

Support the supply chain

Organise the suppliers

Cross-check pricing

Look into shipping costs and the logistics

Overseeing and resolving any conflict or supplier problems

Tracking supply and demand

Involvement in projects

Leading product category

Supplier reviews

Write tenders documents

Build relationships with suppliers

Complete administration duties

Update systems

Ideally, you will be working within procurement as a buyer or feel ready to take the step up to buyer level from an Assistant role. Your understanding of the supplier process and negotiations will be key to the success of this role which is why I will look for evidence of this. A strong educational background is preferred as is strong written and IT skills to include a strong Excel knowledge. Along with a great attitude and the ability to build relationships that last you will also be confident, business-minded and enjoy the negotiation process.
