Procurement & Supply Chain Lead

Procurement & Supply Chain Lead
Location: Wimborne / High Wycombe (multi-site, office-based)
Salary: £45,000 – £55,000

We are looking for a commercially driven Procurement & Supply Chain professional to take ownership of purchasing across a growing, multi-site business.

This is a high-impact, hands-on role with a clear mandate: bring structure, control and consistency to procurement while improving supplier performance, stock management and overall operational efficiency.

This is a multi-site role requiring regular travel between 2 locations, so candidates must be based within a practical commuting distance of both Wimborne and High Wycombe, ideally within the corridor spanning areas such as Basingstoke, Newbury, Winchester and Andover etc.

The Role:

You will take full responsibility for day-to-day purchasing while driving a transition from a reactive approach to a proactive, well-structured procurement function.

Key responsibilities include:

• Owning and managing all purchasing activity across the business
• Building stronger supplier relationships and improving performance
• Leading commercial negotiations to drive cost control and value
• Implementing structured procurement processes and best practices
• Improving stock planning, availability and inventory control
• Driving ERP system improvements, ensuring purchasing data and processes are accurate, embedded and actively used
• Supporting system implementation at one site and optimisation at another
• Bringing discipline, visibility and long-term planning into the supply chain

This is very much a “build and improve” opportunity - ideal for someone who enjoys creating structure, solving problems and making a visible impact.

About You:

We are open on industry background - what matters most is strong, hands-on procurement expertise.

• Proven experience in procurement / purchasing / supply chain roles
• Strong commercial awareness and negotiation skills
• Experience managing suppliers, controlling spend and improving performance
• Ability to introduce structure, processes and best practice into a function
• Comfortable operating in a hands-on, operational role
• Experience with ERP systems and process improvement is highly desirable

You could come from any sector, manufacturing, distribution, retail, construction or beyond, as long as you truly understand procurement and know how to run it effectively.

What’s on Offer:

• A key role with real ownership and visibility
• Opportunity to shape and develop the procurement function
• Clear progression to build and lead a team over time
• A growing business where you can make a measurable impact

If you’re ready to step into a role where you can make a genuine impact, bringing structure, control and commercial strength to procurement—this is an opportunity to take ownership, drive change and grow with the business.

Apply now to be part of a team that values initiative, expertise and results.
