Procurement Planning Manager
Overview
An exciting opportunity to join a leading luxury house in a newly created role responsible for bringing greater planning, structure, and visibility to the procurement function. The Procurement Planning Manager will own the procedural and analytical side of procurement, creating a clear framework for understanding what is required, when it is required, what has been ordered, what is outstanding, and where priorities need to be focused. Working closely with Procurement, Merchandising, and specialist teams across the business, this individual will provide the planning and control layer behind the day-to-day procurement activity, ensuring requirements are effectively planned, prioritized, monitored, and reported. This is not a hands-on buying or product specialist role. It would particularly suit someone from a luxury merchandising, planning, procurement, or analytical background who can bring structure to complex information and use data to support effective decision-making. Previous jewellery, diamond, or gemstone experience is not essential.
Key Responsibilities
Planning & Prioritisation
- Develop and manage a clear planning and control process across procurement.
- Compile and maintain an accurate overview of current and future requirements.
- Forward-plan requirements and establish clear priorities in line with business needs and timelines.
- Monitor open requirements, orders, and expected deliveries, identifying potential gaps, delays, or bottlenecks.
- Ensure priorities and plans are continually updated as business requirements change.
