Buyer

Global Manufacturer

Northamptonshire

£40- 48,000

We're working with a well-established, global manufacturing business in Northamptonshire that's looking to bring in a Buyer to take control of what is currently a fragmented, inconsistent spend area and also be a Sustainability champion.

They need someone who can come in, centralise, challenge and actually use buying power properly across the group.

What you'll actually be doing

Pulling together all group-wide consumables spend (packaging, factory items, stationery, marketing bits - the lot)
Driving proper supplier negotiations - not just shaving pennies off, but creating structure and consistency
Introducing a more centralised approach through systems and reporting (Dynamics 365 in place)
Working with different sites globally to standardise what's being bought and how
Managing stock levels so there's no overbuying, waste, or panic ordering
Bringing a sustainability lens into the supply chain - recycled, reusable, lower-impact options
Getting under the skin of logistics to reduce lead times and unnecessary cost
Producing clear reporting on spend, savings, and market movement
You'll also get involved in sourcing higher value items (IT, equipment etc.) and wider contract negotiation where needed.

What they need from you

This isn't one for someone who wants a quiet life or just maintain what's there.

You need to:

Be a strong negotiator who's comfortable pushing suppliers and influencing internally
Have experience managing indirect spend / consumables at scale
Be confident working across multiple sites or regions
Be organised enough to bring structure to something that currently hasn't got much of it
Be comfortable travelling and building relationships in person (not hiding behind emails)

Please note, due to the high volumes of applications we receive daily, should you not be contacted within 72 hours, your application is unsuccessful.

Thank you.

Impact Recruitment is an employment business working on behalf of our client.

All responses will be managed in line with the new GDPR regulations
