Direct Buyer - Robotics & Advanced Manufacturing

Job Description

Direct Buyer – Robotics & Advanced Manufacturing

Oxford | 4 Days On-Site | Up to £50,000 + Share Options

This is an exciting opportunity for an ambitious Direct Buyer to join one of the UK's fastest-growing technology businesses at a pivotal stage of its journey.

The company is developing cutting-edge robotics and automation technology and has ambitious plans to triple in size over the next year. Procurement and supply chain will be critical to making that happen, creating an opportunity to take real ownership, work closely with highly technical teams and progress quickly as the organisation scales.

The Role

• Managing direct procurement of components and materials used within advanced robotic systems
• Ensuring sufficient stock and supplier capacity to support an extremely ambitious production ramp-up
• Identifying, evaluating and developing high-quality suppliers capable of supporting rapid growth
• Managing supplier performance, lead times, pricing and continuity of supply
• Working closely with Engineering, Manufacturing and Supply Chain teams in a fast-paced, high-tech environment

What They're Looking For

• Direct procurement / buying experience within manufacturing, engineering, electronics, automotive, robotics or another technical environment
• Strong supplier management, sourcing and negotiation capability
• Experience working with components, materials or technical products
• Commercially minded, proactive and comfortable operating at pace
• An ambitious individual excited by the opportunity to grow alongside a rapidly scaling business

For someone who wants to move away from a traditional corporate procurement environment, this offers something very different: incredibly high-tech products, rapid growth, significant ownership and share options that allow you to participate in the company's future success. As the business triples in size, there should be significant opportunities for your role to grow with it.
