Description

About the company:
Our client is a well-established New Zealand business and part of a larger international group, with a portfolio of iconic local and global brands operating across multiple sites nationwide.

It’s a genuinely fast-paced, high-volume environment, supporting some of the most recognisable consumer brands in New Zealand.

About the role:
Our client is looking for an experienced Purchasing Specialist to join their Supply Chain team on an initial 3-month contract, supporting the team through the implementation of a new Supplier Relationship Management platform.

This is not a technical systems or Project Manager role. The system provider is managing the technical implementation, but the Purchasing team needs an extra pair of capable hands internally to help coordinate all the moving parts and keep things progressing.

Alongside supporting the wider Purchasing function, you’ll work across internal stakeholders, suppliers and the system provider, helping gather information and data, follow up actions, coordinate timelines and make sure nothing falls through the cracks.

It’s a great opportunity for a switched-on Purchasing professional who is organised, proactive, great with people and comfortable spinning plenty of plates in a fast-moving environment.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Taking ownership of key Purchasing workstreams within the supplier systems implementation
  • Coordinating internal stakeholders, suppliers and the system provider
  • Managing project actions, timelines, follow-ups and deliverables
  • Driving the collection and accuracy of supplier data and information
  • Supporting testing, UAT and implementation readiness
  • Proactively chasing actions and keeping stakeholders on track
  • Identifying issues early, solving problems and making sure nothing falls through the cracks

About you:

  • Proven experience across Purchasing, Procurement, Buying or Category Management, ideally within FMCG, retail, hospitality or another fast-paced consumer environment
  • Strong stakeholder and supplier relationship skills
  • Highly organised, proactive and comfortable juggling multiple priorities
  • Confident chasing actions and keeping people and priorities moving
  • A quick learner who can pick up new systems and processes easily
  • Comfortable joining a busy team and getting stuck in wherever needed
  • Strong communication skills and a genuinely hands-on approach
  • Current NZ working rights and immediate availability

Interested?
If you’re an experienced Purchasing professional who loves being in the detail, building relationships and keeping lots of moving parts on track, and you’re available immediately, we’d love to hear from you.
