Some supply chain roles are about maintenance, this one is about making things better.

A growing, tech-enabled business is investing in its supply chain function as part of a wider scale-up. The focus? Stronger supplier performance, better data, and a network that can keep up with increasing demand.

They need someone who can step in and make a difference, not just follow process, but improve it.

The role:

This position sits at the centre of supplier relationships, internal teams, and operational systems.

You’ll be:

  • Driving supplier performance and pushing continuous improvement
  • Maintaining accurate system data (and challenging it when it doesn’t look right)
  • Supporting procurement and supply chain leadership with day-to-day activity
  • Working closely with internal stakeholders to ensure service delivery lands as it should
  • Identifying gaps or weaknesses in the supply chain and acting on them
  • Expanding and strengthening the supplier network
  • Ensuring compliance across quality, health & safety, and environmental standards
  • Supporting suppliers with system use and ongoing training

What do you need?

It’s not about ticking every box, it’s about how you approach the work.

You’ll need to:

  • Build strong, credible relationships with both suppliers and internal teams
  • Communicate clearly and confidently, without overcomplicating things
  • Balance collaboration with the ability to challenge when needed
  • Have strong attention to detail and a data-led mindset
  • Manage competing priorities without letting standards slip
  • Be comfortable working with systems and picking things up quickly

What’s on offer?

The environment is people-focused, supportive, and growing at pace without the heavy corporate feel.

Benefits:

  • An annual salary of up to £28k (depending on experience)
  • 25 days holiday + bank holidays (with flexibility to buy/sell)
  • Private healthcare, including mental health support
  • Enhanced maternity and paternity pay
  • Pension contribution and referral scheme
  • Regular social events and a collaborative team culture
