Take ownership. Make an impact. Grow with us.
At HistoCyte Laboratories, we're passionate about developing innovative products that support pathology laboratories around the world. As part of our continued growth, we're looking for an organised, proactive and commercially-minded Supply Chain Coordinator to take ownership of our end-to-end supply chain.
This isn't a traditional logistics role. It's an opportunity to own and shape HistoCyte's supply chain, from supplier management and purchasing through to inventory, production support and customer delivery.
You'll be responsible for everything from purchasing and supplier management through to inventory control, production support, packaging, international shipping and continuous improvement. You'll have genuine ownership of your area, work closely with colleagues across Operations, Manufacturing, R&D and Commercial, and play a key role in ensuring our customers receive the highest levels of quality and service.
This role would suit someone who enjoys variety and ownership. You'll have the opportunity to shape and improve how we manage our supply chain as the business continues to grow.
If you enjoy variety, solving problems and making processes better, we'd love to hear from you. This is a role where you'll be trusted to take ownership, encouraged to suggest improvements and supported to grow as the business grows.
What you'll be doing
You'll play a key role in:
- Purchasing and supplier management
- Inventory and stock control
- International and domestic logistics
- Packaging, labelling and dispatch of customer orders
- Supplier performance and corrective actions (SCARs)
- Continuous improvement of supply chain processes
- Supporting quality and regulatory compliance within an ISO 13485 environment
We're looking for someone who has
- Excellent organisational skills and attention to detail
- A proactive mindset and a passion for improving processes
- Strong communication and relationship-building skills
- Experience in supply chain, purchasing, logistics or inventory management
- Confidence working with suppliers and internal stakeholders
- Experience using ERP or inventory management systems
Experience within a manufacturing, life science, medical device or other regulated environment would be advantageous, but isn't essential.
Why join HistoCyte?
As a smaller organisation, you'll see the impact of your work every day and have the opportunity to influence how we develop our supply chain as the business continues to grow.
Unlike larger organisations where responsibilities are divided across multiple departments, this role offers broad ownership and the opportunity to influence how our supply chain develops as we continue to grow.
We offer:
- 35-hour working week
- 25 days' annual leave plus bank holidays
- Enhanced employer pension contribution
- Annual bonus scheme
- Company Sick Pay
- Free on-site parking
- Company-funded summer and Christmas social events
- A supportive, collaborative team where your ideas are valued
