Acting as the functional lead for Buyers and Purchasing Assistants, overseeing workload prioritisation, daily order activity and team performance.
Owning stock ordering, approval and forecasting to maintain optimal inventory levels and prevent shortages or overstock.
Leading the delivery of Spares Purchasing KPIs alongside the Assistant Purchasing Manager, ensuring accuracy, timeliness and budget control.
Driving supplier performance and commercial value through Total Cost of Ownership analysis, negotiation, supplier selection and ongoing reviews.
Building and maintaining strong, long-term supplier relationships, including identifying, evaluating and onboarding new spare parts suppliers.
Ensuring full compliance with company policies, legal requirements and industry standards, with robust processes, documentation and governance in place.
Leading from the front to resolve purchasing challenges, manage risks (including Health & Safety), and provide clear reporting on performance, trends and savings.

You’ll work closely with our vendors and key stake holders across Service Operations, while collaborating with our wider business functions – including Infosys, Warehouse, Purchasing and Repair teams. You’ll also partner with stakeholders across the organisation, building strong relationships and making sure everyone is aligned to deliver the very best outcomes for our customers.

You will need:

Proven experience in a Buyer or similar role, with a minimum of 3 years’ experience in a purchasing or supply chain environment.
Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the confidence to represent the business internally and externally.
Strong negotiation skills, with the ability to secure commercial value and influence positive supplier outcomes.
The ability to influence and build effective relationships with stakeholders at all levels across the business and supplier base.
A solid understanding of purchasing and procurement principles, including cost control and supplier management.
Strong coaching and development capability, with a genuine passion for developing others and raising team performance.
Advanced Microsoft Office capability, particularly in Microsoft Excel, with the ability to analyse and interpret data effectively.
High personal drive and accountability, with a continuous improvement mindset focused on improving both individual and team performance.
