Full job description

About the Role:

Belfast has a strong reputation for manufacturing, logistics, and international trade, and at Maghreb Papier Sustainable Packaging Ltd, we support that growth by providing reliable paper, packaging, and sustainable materials to commercial customers across the United Kingdom.

We are looking for a Procurement Specialist who can manage supplier relationships, purchasing activities, and material availability across our operations. You will play an important role in ensuring that the business receives the right products at the right quality, price, and delivery schedule.

Why Work With Us?

The Environment:

Our Belfast office provides a professional and collaborative working environment where procurement, supply chain, sales, and operations teams work closely together.

Meaningful Responsibility:

You will have direct ownership of purchasing activities and supplier coordination. Your decisions will influence product availability, operational costs, and customer satisfaction.

Industry Stability:

Paper, packaging, and commercial supply services remain essential across retail, manufacturing, food production, logistics, and professional services.

Career Development:

You will have opportunities to strengthen your skills in supplier management, contract negotiation, inventory planning, sustainable sourcing, and supply chain operations.

Key Responsibilities:

Supplier Management:

Build and maintain professional relationships with approved suppliers. Review supplier performance, lead times, product quality, and service reliability.

Purchasing Operations:

Prepare and process purchase orders for paper products, packaging materials, office supplies, and operational requirements.

Price Negotiation:

Negotiate competitive pricing, delivery terms, minimum order quantities, and payment arrangements while maintaining strong supplier partnerships.

Inventory Coordination:

Work with warehouse, sales, and operations teams to monitor stock levels and ensure essential materials are available when required.

Supplier Research:

Identify and evaluate potential suppliers based on cost, quality, sustainability, delivery capability, and commercial suitability.

Order Tracking:

Monitor open purchase orders and follow up with suppliers regarding delivery schedules, shortages, delays, or product discrepancies.

Cost Control:

Review purchasing data and identify opportunities to reduce costs without compromising quality, service, or operational requirements.

Documentation:

Maintain accurate supplier records, purchase order details, pricing agreements, delivery documents, and procurement reports.

Compliance:

Ensure purchasing activities follow company procedures, contractual requirements, and relevant environmental and quality standards.

Internal Collaboration:

Work closely with finance, warehouse, customer service, and sales teams to resolve purchasing and supply-related issues.

What We Are Looking For:

Experience:

At least 3 years of experience in procurement, purchasing, supply chain, manufacturing, packaging, wholesale, or a related commercial environment.

Supplier Management:

Experience communicating with suppliers, obtaining quotations, negotiating terms, and monitoring supplier performance.

Commercial Awareness:

A good understanding of pricing, delivery schedules, stock requirements, and cost control.

Organisation:

Strong attention to detail with the ability to manage multiple purchase orders, deadlines, and supplier requests.

Communication Skills:

Clear and professional written and verbal communication skills. You should be comfortable working with suppliers and internal stakeholders.

Technical Skills:

Confident using Microsoft Excel, purchasing systems, inventory software, and standard business applications.

Problem Solving:

Able to respond calmly and effectively to delivery delays, stock shortages, pricing issues, and supplier concerns.

Education:

A qualification in procurement, supply chain management, business administration, logistics, or a related field is preferred but not essential.

Professional qualifications from the Chartered Institute of Procurement and Supply are advantageous.

Mindset:

You are commercially focused, dependable, and proactive. You understand the importance of maintaining supply continuity while controlling costs and supporting long-term supplier relationships.

Pay: £3,111.00-£3,600.00 per month

Work Location: In person
