Identify and deliver cost-saving opportunities through negotiation, relationship management, and strategic sourcing initiatives.
Build and maintain strong supplier relationships, including regular review meetings with key suppliers.
Resolve supplier disputes, invoice queries, and delivery note discrepancies in a timely and professional manner.
Support New Product Development (NPD) projects with procurement-related activities.
Produce and report procurement KPIs, ensuring targets are achieved and deadlines met.

Excellent planning, organisational, and administrative skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities and meet deadlines.
Strong analytical skills and attention to detail.
Ability to work independently and as part of a collaborative team.
Excellent communication, negotiation, and relationship-building skills.
Strong commercial awareness and cost-management experience.
Proficient in Microsoft Excel, Word, and Outlook.
Experience using Sage 200 or similar ERP systems.
