Full job descriptionAre you the person who always has a plan? Someone who loves being organised, keeps track of every deadline and can’t stand things being left up in the air?

I’m working with an established, family-owned manufacturing group looking for a Procurement & Finance Administrator who will bring that approach to a varied role across purchasing, finance and project coordination.

With a turnover of c£5m across 3 companies, the business offers plenty of variety and the opportunity to become an important part of a small team.

The role

Reporting to the Finance Manager, you’ll keep day-to-day processes running smoothly and help turn agreed actions into clear plans that get followed through.

Around a third of your time will focus on purchasing, with the remainder supporting routine finance activities and coordinating projects.

Your responsibilities will include:

*Ordering materials and maintaining appropriate stock levels.
*Comparing suppliers, negotiating prices and agreeing delivery terms.
*Building supplier relationships and identifying cost savings.
*Maintaining accurate stock records and coordinating stocktakes.
*Supporting sales and purchase ledger administration.
*Chasing outstanding customer payments.
*Assisting with month-end tasks and providing cover within finance.
*Coordinating project plans, responsibilities and deadlines.
*Following up with colleagues and external partners, flagging issues before they hold things up.

About you

You’re a natural planner. You like knowing what needs to happen, who’s responsible and when it’s due. If there isn’t a clear plan, you’ll create one.

You’ll be someone who follows things through, notices loose ends and takes satisfaction in keeping a busy workload organised. You’ll also be confident chasing an update or picking up the phone to get something moving.

Alongside this, you’ll bring experience in a varied administration role and a sound understanding of routine finance processes. Experience in purchasing, supplier negotiations or stock would be particularly useful.

You’ll be approachable, practical and comfortable taking ownership of your work.
