We're looking for a
Strategic Procurement Leader
who knows how to negotiate great deals, build strong supplier partnerships, and develop purchasing strategies that keep production moving.

Cost Management:
Identify savings opportunities, negotiate favourable terms, and improve total landed costs.
Process Improvement:
Streamline purchasing processes, improve ERP accuracy, and build systems that support growth.
Team Leadership:
Coach and develop a high-performing purchasing team that takes ownership and delivers results.

You've demonstrated success in procurement, purchasing, or supply chain management, ideally within manufacturing.
You're a strong negotiator with a track record of building supplier relationships and delivering measurable results.
You understand inventory management, strategic sourcing, and ERP systems.
