Opportunity to shape how we growThis is a genuinely rare find: a senior supply chain role inside a family-run manufacturer that's ready to be transformed. You'll have real ownership - not just a seat at the table, but the pen in your hand to redesign how goods flow in and out of the business.
Two things matter most right now: improving on-time inbound delivery and driving up quality. Beyond that, you'll build the foundations - strategic sourcing, demand planning, logistics, supplier relationships - that let the business scale with confidence.
What you'll own
Lead day-to-day supply chain operations: identify material needs, negotiate on price and lead times, and partner with the purchasing team to keep the order process running smoothly.
Develop and execute sourcing strategies that actively support business growth - not just maintain the status quo.
Build strong, lasting supplier relationships with clear accountability around quality, cost, and delivery performance.
Put a proper supplier performance framework in place: measure, report, and resolve issues before they become problems.
Support inventory control during stock counts and lead the resolution of discrepancies.What you'll bring
Proven supply chain or purchasing management experience in a manufacturing environment.
A track record of implementing supplier development processes that actually stick.
Strong analytical thinking and the ability to lead change without losing people along the way.
Clear, confident communication - you challenge assumptions, stay detail-oriented, and keep driving toward results
