What You'll Do
Manage and optimise global commodity supply chains, ensuring OTIF performance.
Negotiate favourable pricing and terms to secure the best deals.
Develop new supplier relationships in key markets (including Asia, Europe, North America).
Analyse market trends and proactively mitigate risks.
Improve ERP data accuracy and inventory strategies for maximum efficiency.
Resolve supplier issues swiftly and effectively to maintain smooth operations.
What I'm Looking For
A commercially astute, globally minded procurement professional with:
Proven experience in international purchasing of precision-machined parts.
Strong track record of supplier negotiations and relationship management.
Knowledge of ERP/MRP systems and inventory optimisation.
Ability to think strategically, manage risk, and deliver innovative solutions.
Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
Desirable:
Degree in Engineering, Supply Chain, or related field.
Exposure to sourcing exotic materials.
