Purchasing & Office Manager

Location: Sittingbourne – only drivers with own transport can be considered for this one

Package: c.£35,000 – £45,000 dependent on skills and experience + bens

Hours: Monday–Friday, 8am–5pm – 5 days on site, no remote working

Contact: Emily – Karabelo Bellis at Search Beyond Recruitment

Are you the sort of person who sees something that needs sorting and just gets on with it?

We’re exclusively recruiting for a growing manufacturing business looking for an ambitious Purchasing & Office Manager to take ownership of purchasing while becoming a key person within the wider operation.

This is a brilliant opportunity for someone who already has solid purchasing experience but wants more – more responsibility, more exposure to the wider business and the chance to genuinely influence how things are done as the company grows.

This is much more than an admin role. You’ll take real ownership of purchasing and supplier coordination, while keeping a busy office and manufacturing operation organised and moving in the right direction.

There’s plenty of scope to make the role your own, improve how things are done and grow with the business. We’re looking for someone hungry to develop, happy to take responsibility and keen to become increasingly influential as the company continues to expand.

What you'll be doing

Taking ownership of day-to-day purchasing and raising purchase orders
Managing supplier relationships, pricing, availability and lead times
Keeping purchasing records and order information accurate and up to date
Monitoring stock requirements and working closely with warehouse and operational teams
Coordinating deliveries and helping resolve supply or logistics issues before they cause delays
Working across purchasing, production, projects and other internal departments
Speaking confidently with suppliers, customers and colleagues at all levels
Keeping on top of multiple priorities in a busy manufacturing environment
Supporting the smooth running of the office, including diaries and general coordination
Looking for opportunities to improve processes rather than simply following what's always been done
Becoming a dependable central point of contact who helps keep everything moving

What we're looking for

Genuine purchasing, buying or procurement experience
Experience within manufacturing, engineering or production
Commercial awareness and confidence dealing with suppliers
Strong organisation skills with the ability to juggle changing priorities
Comfortable working with systems, spreadsheets and purchasing/order information
A proactive, practical approach – you'll spot problems and take action
Confidence communicating across different departments and levels of seniority
Someone who enjoys responsibility and wants to keep developing
A positive, energetic approach and the confidence to challenge or suggest a better way of doing something

ERP or document management system experience would be useful, but we're much more interested in finding the right calibre of person with the right attitude and purchasing foundations.

Why consider it?

£35,000 – £45,000 depending on experience
Join a business that is growing and investing
Genuine opportunity to develop your responsibilities as the company grows
A role with variety – not sitting behind a desk processing the same tasks every day
Plenty of autonomy and the opportunity to influence how things are done
Work closely with different areas of the business and gain broader operational exposure
Modern working environment
Free on-site parking
Free use of an on-site gym
Monday to Friday working hours
Stable, permanent opportunity with a business that has ambitious plans for the future

This would particularly suit someone who has built a good grounding in purchasing or procurement with office management experience/capability and is now looking for a role where they can step up, take more ownership and broaden their experience.

If you're ambitious, organised and commercially minded – and you'd rather be somewhere you can make things happen than simply maintain the status quo – we'd love to hear from you.

Pay: £35,000.00-£45,000.00 per year

Benefits:

Canteen
Company events
Company pension
Employee discount
Free parking
Health & wellbeing programme
On-site gym
On-site parking

Work Location: In person
