Procurement Agent

About the role

A fully remote procurement position for someone who enjoys the detail of sourcing and the discipline of getting a good deal without cutting corners. You will own a category of spend end to end — finding suppliers, comparing quotes, negotiating terms and making sure orders arrive as agreed.

The role suits someone methodical who wants more ownership than a purely administrative buying role offers. Training is provided on our purchasing systems, so experience with purchase orders is welcome rather than required.

Responsibilities

• Identify and evaluate suppliers, and request and compare quotations
• Negotiate pricing, lead times and payment terms within agreed limits
• Raise and track purchase orders through to delivery and invoicing
• Maintain supplier records, contracts and renewal dates
• Monitor delivery performance and resolve shortages, delays and disputes
• Report on spend against budget and highlight savings opportunities

Requirements

• Zero to two years in procurement, purchasing, supply chain or a related administrative role
• Confidence negotiating with suppliers by email and video call
• Experience with an ERP or purchasing system
• Solid spreadsheet skills for cost comparison and reporting
• Clear written English and a methodical approach to record keeping
• Able to overlap with US business hours for supplier calls

Skills we look for

• Supplier sourcing and market research
• Commercial negotiation and cost analysis
• Purchase order and contract administration
• Vendor relationship management

Benefits

• Performance bonuses on top of your hourly rate
• Choice of full-time or part-time hours
• Fully remote with flexible start and finish times
• Annual training budget for procurement certifications
• Paid time off and public holidays
• Clear route into senior procurement and category management
