The role owns day to day purchasing across an assigned portfolio, initially spanning indirect, packaging and consumables, while keeping manufacturing operations reliably supplied and carries a process improvement mandate alongside the transactional work. A significant share of this portfolio currently runs on manual, repetitive ordering that should be consolidated, automated or eliminated. The successful candidate will run the desk and measurably shrink it, converting repeat purchasing to blanket orders and automated replenishment, cleaning vendor master data and documenting processes to ISO 9001:2015 standard.

This role is required to maintain business-as-usual (purchase order processing, supplier management, expediting, invoicing etc). Beyond BAU, a core purpose of the role is process improvement; documenting and standardising workflows, cleansing the vendor masterdata, eliminating short term fixes in favour of sustainable, root cause solutions. The intent is that the role is a 12 month role to stabilise, improve, reduce single person dependencies and handover a more streamlined process to the team.
