About the Role
Do you thrive in a fast-paced environment where no two days are the same? We're looking for a highly organised and proactive individual to join our client as a Purchasing and Supply Chain Administrator.

- Support the expansion and optimisation of the supply chain network by identifying and onboarding new suppliers, diversifying sourcing options, and improving supply chain resilience to meet business growth and operational demands.
