What the role involves:

Ensure that Procurement is seen in a strategic way and looking at new long-term supplier strategy and innovation and how to bring best value to this.

A lot of contracts are single source so identifying ways to review this.

Work collaboratively with the rest of the Procurement Team to drive value from current supplier base.


The person we hope to find:
Proven procurement buying experience across direct materials

Strong negotiation skills and understanding of contracts and supply agreements.


Salary and Benefits:
£45-55,000 + 10% bonus + private healthcare and a great pension scheme

This is a great time to join this growing company who continue to invest in their products and global markets and a chance for perhaps a Buyer looking for a step up into something more senior and to be part of this global team. If you have a direct procurement category background and looking for a new challenge in Sussex, then please get in touch!

Company

Talent Drive was born of a vision to help both large and SME organisations find the most talented and driven Supply Chain and Procurement Professionals.

‘Delivering with Impact’ is the mantra we work by, epitomising our sole focus; sourcing the best talent quickly, and effectively. 

We believe this can only be achieved by collaborating fully with your organisation and truly understanding what it takes to fit both culturally and professionally into your team, ensuring maximum impact upon arrival. We want to be able to act as an ambassador of your brand and become an extension of your HR or recruitment function. This way, we can talk with passion about your brand as if it were our own to ensure we attract and deliver the talent you need.

Specialising solely in Supply Chain and Procurement recruitment, Talent Drive was founded by Martin Smith – a recruitment expert with over a decade of in-house and agency experience hiring Supply Chain and Procurement professionals across the UK and Europe. Martin’s extensive experience has created the foundation upon which Talent Drive was built, which is why we are unique in the way we collaborate fully with all decision makers in a recruitment process, it is a benefit we recognise for both us and you. 

Talent Drive is not just about transacting with an organisation on a vacancy requirement. We endeavour to build long lasting, rewarding partnerships with organisations and the real barometer of success for us is being our candidates and clients first call when they need recruitment support.
