Our client is going through a fundamental change of business, where the company is being split into two separate legal entities.

This change will create a need for senior purchasing and buying staff to assist with this transition, as both entities will be entirely separate, with their own Supply Chain and frameworks / contracts.

This is a global, complex manufacturing company, meaning that their supply chains are vast and complex, covering everything from parts to services and raw materials.

We are looking for several Senior Buyers / Buyers to join the existing Purchasing team to concentrate on separating the contracts which are currently in place. For some this will be a simple process and for others this will be a much more complex exercise.

Initially this will be a 6-month contract, but it is likely to expand as once the separation happens there will be an adoption phase, where new processes, procedures and systems will be implemented.

The successful candidate should have:

·       Experience working with raw materials, services or parts (purchasing) contracts, ideally within a global manufacturing environment.

·       Have a level of commercial acumen, where you can identify the commercial options available, and decide the best strategic option for the company.

·       Ability to successfully negotiate and come to agreement on commercial terms.

·       Have a commercial mindset.

·       Ideally have formal Purchasing qualification (CIPS).
