Description:
Lead Buyer
We're recruiting a Lead Buyer for a well-established manufacturing business based in Yorkshire.
This role would suit someone who started their career in planning or supply chain before moving into buying or procurement. You'll lead purchasing activities, build strong supplier relationships, negotiate commercial agreements, and ensure the business has the right materials at the right cost and quality.
Key responsibilities include:
* Leading the purchasing function.
* Negotiating supplier contracts and driving cost savings.
* Building and managing supplier relationships.
* Ensuring suppliers meet quality and food safety standards.
A real highlight of this opportunity is the chance to shape and improve the purchasing function. With grass-roots systems and processes, you'll have the freedom to introduce new ideas, improve ways of working, and make a lasting impact.
The business supplies major retail, hospitality, and business customers across the UK. If you're looking for a senior buying role where your experience can influence the future of the business, we'd love to hear from you
