We’re dedicated to protecting what matters most – our people, our customers, our communities, and the environment. At Macfarlane Packaging, our commitment to customer satisfaction, sustainability and continual improvement creates a collaborative, supportive, and friendly workplace where you can unpack a career that grows.

With over 75 years of history, we offer stability alongside continued growth. Our fast-paced, results-driven environment will challenge and stretch you, but also provide genuine opportunities for personal and professional development. Every colleague has the chance to influence our success and share in that achievement.

The Buyer Role

As our Buyer within our local procurement team, you’ll play a key role in supporting the efficient sourcing and supply of products to meet customer demand, sales targets, and profitability objectives.

Working closely with internal teams and suppliers, you’ll ensure stock is sourced competitively, delivered on time, and meets required quality standards. You’ll also contribute to the ongoing development of the supplier base, helping to drive cost efficiencies, improve service levels, and support wider procurement strategy.

This is a varied and commercially focused role, offering exposure to supplier negotiation, stock management, and supply chain optimisation within a fast-paced distribution environment.

Key responsibilities

Support the management and development of the Regional Distribution Centre (RDC) supplier base

Negotiate pricing, terms, and service levels with suppliers to ensure best value and performance

Process and manage purchase orders, ensuring timely and cost-effective procurement activity

Work closely with the Category Manager and Procurement Manager to align with wider procurement strategy

Source alternative suppliers where required to reduce risk and improve competitiveness

Monitor supplier performance, addressing any quality or service issues promptly

Support tender processes to secure favourable commercial terms

Develop awareness of stock holding costs and take action to minimise excess or obsolete stock

Collaborate with logistics and warehouse teams to optimise stock availability and flow

Build strong product knowledge across packaging solutions

Promote effective cross-functional working across departments and RDCs

What you will bring

You’ll ideally have experience within a fast-paced purchasing or procurement environment and be confident working with suppliers, managing priorities, and supporting commercial decision-making.

Essential:
Experience within a purchasing or procurement role

Strong communication and negotiation skills

Ability to prioritise workload within a fast-paced environment

Good IT skills, including Microsoft Office

Desirable:
18+ months buying experience within a commercial environment

Experience working with multiple product lines and supplier bases

Familiarity with systems such as ERP/SAP, Microsoft Dynamics or similar

CIPS qualification (or interest in working towards this)

Experience of cross-functional working with sales, logistics, or operations

What you will get

We provide a competitive basic salary alongside a range of bonus and incentive schemes. Our flexible benefits package can include:

25 days annual leave (rising to 27 days with service) plus bank holidays

Additional holiday purchasing scheme

Contributory pension scheme

Free parking at most locations

Annual volunteering day

Employee assistance programme

Extensive training and development opportunities

Employee discount scheme

Simply Health/Dental or BUPA options for qualifying roles

Enhanced HR policies and long service awards

EE mobile discount scheme

Candidate referral scheme

Your future with us

At Macfarlane Group, you’ll have the opportunity to shape your own career. We actively support internal progression and provide structured development pathways, combining in-house expertise with external training partners.

You’ll also have the opportunity to pursue professional development through recognised bodies such as the Chartered Institute of Procurement & Supply (CIPS), helping you to build a long-term career within procurement and supply chain.
