If you're a Supply Chain or Supplier Development expert eager to enhance supplier performance rather than just manage it, this opportunity is for you.


We are collaborating with a prestigious manufacturer seeking to escalate delivery volumes while fortifying their supply chain operations. This role transcends mere problem-solving; it involves strategic supplier development, focusing on sub-assemblies and advanced technical components vital to some of the UK's most significant programs.


Note: Due to the sensitive nature of the work, it is essential to be a British Citizen or a dual national with UK citizenship. Security checks will be conducted.


What We're Looking For:

You should ideally possess a degree in a related field and have experience in high-tech industries such as aerospace, defense, or complex manufacturing. A knack for analyzing supplier performance, identifying risks early, and collaborating effectively to achieve improvements is key.


Essential skills include:

  • Enhancing supplier performance using lean tools and techniques.
  • Conducting capacity audits and identifying production bottlenecks.
  • Managing supplier risk and reporting to program teams.
  • Utilizing DMAIC and other methodologies to drive improvements.
  • Working within international supply chains and complex sub-tier networks.


This position requires a balance between detail-oriented tasks and strategic planning—one moment you might analyze lead times, and the next, you could be mapping capabilities against future demand.


What’s in it for You?

  • Competitive base salary around £50,000, adjusted for experience.
  • Performance-based bonus up to £2,500, varying yearly.
  • Combined pension contributions up to 14%.
  • Flexible leave options, providing up to 15 additional days.
  • Enhanced parental policies and well-being support.
  • Relocation assistance available if you're moving for this role.
  • Subsidized meals on-site.
  • Opportunities for career development in a supportive environment that values its employees.
