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.

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.

Previous experience within a food manufacturing environment.
Advanced Excel skills.
Knowledge of supplier auditing requirements and quality management systems.

What We Offer:

Opportunity to join a growing and innovative manufacturing business.
The chance to make a significant impact on procurement performance and business success.
