- Developing supplier relationships, reviewing performance and driving improvements
- Working closely with Planning, Sales, Engineering and Manufacturing
- Identifying cost savings and opportunities for buffer stock and Kanban replenishment
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What you’ll bring
- At least 12 months’ experience in a similar purchasing role
- A good understanding of manufacturing systems, including ERP, MRP and MPS
- Strong negotiation and communication skills
- Accuracy, attention to detail and a practical approach to solving problems
- Confidence using Word and Excel and managing competing deadlines
Electronics industry experience, component recognition skills and CIPS membership would be an advantage, alongside knowledge of JIT and Kanban supply methods.
