Key Responsibilities
Supplier Management: Act as a primary point of contact for external vendors. Build and maintain strong, collaborative relationships, monitor supplier performance, and address any delivery or quality issues head-on.
Order Processing: Prepare, issue, and track purchase orders (POs) accurately and efficiently, ensuring alignment with company policies and budget constraints.
Data & Inventory Tracking: Maintain precise records of purchases, pricing, and stock levels. You’ll be the go-to person for keeping our inventory data immaculate.
Market & Pricing Analysis: Research potential new vendors, request quotes, and compare costs to ensure we are always getting the best possible value.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with the warehouse, finance, and operations teams to resolve invoice discrepancies and coordinate delivery schedules.
What We Are Looking For
Advanced Excel Skills: You should be more than comfortable with spreadsheets.
Highly Organised: You will be juggling multiple orders, deadlines, and vendor queries simultaneously. Exceptional time management and an eagle eye for detail are absolute must-haves.
Confident Communicator: You’ll be negotiating lead times, chasing up late deliveries, and collaborating across departments. You need to be articulate, professional, and comfortable picking up the phone to get things done.
Proven Supplier Management: Prior experience dealing directly with vendors, managing lead times, and handling supply chain hiccups with diplomacy and tact.
Experience: 1–3 years of experience in a purchasing, procurement, or supply chain role is preferred
