*Resolving invoice queries and discrepancies with suppliers and finance
*Supporting cost-saving initiatives across indirect spend categories
*Maintaining accurate records within the purchasing/ERP system
What We’re Looking For
*Previous experience in a purchasing, procurement, or buying support role, ideally within an FMCG, food manufacturing, or industrial environment
*Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple suppliers and orders simultaneously
*Confident communicator, comfortable liaising with internal departments and external suppliers
*Good working knowledge of Excel; experience with an ERP/MRP system is advantageous
*A proactive, detail-focused approach with strong problem-solving skills
What’s on Offer
*Salary up to £29,000, dependent on experience
*A stable, growing FMCG business with genuine opportunities for progression
*A varied role at the heart of the site’s day-to-day operations
*Full-time, site-based in Gainsborough
If you’re an experienced purchasing professional looking for your next step within a supportive, hands-on FMCG environment, we’d love to hear from you.
