  • Obtaining quotations and liaising with suppliers to support procurement activity
  • Assisting with supplier performance monitoring and KPI tracking
  • Supporting projects, reporting, and data management activities
  • Building strong working relationships with internal teams and external suppliers

What we’re looking for:

  • Previous experience working within a fast-paced administrative, procurement, or operational support role
  • Strong communication and stakeholder management skills
  • Excellent organisation and attention to detail
  • Intermediate Excel skills
  • Experience working with complex databases or systems
  • Exposure to procurement or service contract environments would be beneficial
  • Knowledge of biomedical, medical device or endoscopy sectors would be advantageous but not essential

This is an excellent opportunity to join a collaborative organisation offering long-term stability, hybrid working and the chance to develop within a specialist procurement environment.
