If you're a Supply Chain or Supplier Development professional who knows how to get the best from your suppliers - not just manage them - then this one's for you.
We're working with a leading manufacturer who are ramping up delivery volumes and looking to strengthen their supply chain function. This isn't just firefighting - it is strategic supplier development, working on sub-assemblies and advanced technical components that feed into some of the most important programmes in the UK right now.
****Due to the nature of the work, you'll need to be a British Citizen or a dual national with UK citizenship. Security checks will apply****
What they're looking for:
You will ideally be a degree-calibre supply chain professional with experience working in high-tech sectors - aerospace, defence, complex manufacturing - and you'll understand how to dig into supplier performance, spot risks early and work collaboratively to turn things around.
You'll need to be confident with:
- Improving supplier performance through lean tools and techniques
- Carrying out capacity audits and analysing production bottlenecks
- Managing supplier risk and reporting into programme teams
- Using DMAIC and other methodologies to implement improvements
- Working across international supply chains and complex sub-tier networks
This is a role where you'll need to be comfortable in both the detail and the bigger picture - one minute you're analysing lead times, the next you're mapping capability against future-state demand.
What's in it for you?
- Base salary around £50,000 depending on experience
- Bonus up to £2,500 (based on company performance and will vary year to year)
- Up to 14% combined pension contributions
- Flexi-leave - up to 15 additional days
- Enhanced parental policies and wellbeing support
- Relocation support if you're moving for the role
- Subsidised meals
- Career development in a business that genuinely invests in its people
