Good to know: The position has occurred as a result of business growth and a subsequent need for a supply chain subject matter expert. Procurement is being performed by the various departments with the help of consultants; however, there are significant gains to be made from formalising the function. Procurement categories are varied and range between Direct and Indirect: consumables, office supplies, oils and services, to name a few. It's worth noting that there is also a large portion of the procurement of PSE which will need to be explored. The successful individual will report into the General Manager. The role does not have any direct reports; however, it has senior-level accountabilities in terms of establishing a supply chain, creating and ensuring the utilisation of a procurement system, as well as defining best practice. The working environment can be described as agile, quick, and unaffected by red tape. This is an SME with an incredible passion for the products, industry, progress and achievements of the collective. With a culture of "name, not a number", this is a business where everyone knows everyone, and this sets the company apart from others in the sector. With the flagship product expected to be in circulation for decades, there is a real sense of creating a legacy. Due to the business being an SME, they do not have advanced software to manage procurement processes, and the Group Procurement Manager will need to utilise simple tools to devise a user-friendly system that colleagues can easily adopt and get behind. An introduction of a sign-off process is needed in order to ensure adherence to the established supply chain and in order to achieve better alignment with finance, who are not always given the heads-up needed about expected invoices.

Good to know: The position has occurred as a result of business growth and a subsequent need for a supply chain subject matter expert. Procurement is being performed by the various departments with the help of consultants; however, there are significant gains to be made from formalising the function. Procurement categories are varied and range between Direct and Indirect: consumables, office supplies, oils and services, to name a few. It s worth noting that there is also a large portion of the procurement of PSE which will need to be explored. The successful individual will report into the General Manager. The role does not have any direct reports; however, it has senior-level accountabilities in terms of establishing a supply chain, creating and ensuring the utilisation of a procurement system, as well as defining best practice. The working environment can be described as agile, quick, and unaffected by red tape. This is an SME with an incredible passion for the products, industry, progress and achievements of the collective. With a culture of name, not a number , this is a business where everyone knows everyone, and this sets the company apart from others in the sector. With the flagship product expected to be in circulation for decades, there is a real sense of creating a legacy. Due to the business being an SME, they do not have advanced software to manage procurement processes, and the Group Procurement Manager will need to utilise simple tools to devise a user-friendly system that colleagues can easily adopt and get behind. An introduction of a sign-off process is needed in order to ensure adherence to the established supply chain and in order to achieve better alignment with finance, who are not always given the heads-up needed about expected invoices.
