Supply Chain Assistant - #2070181
Headstar
Some supply chain roles are about maintenance, this one is about making things better.
A growing, tech-enabled business is investing in its supply chain function as part of a wider scale-up. The focus? Stronger supplier performance, better data, and a network that can keep up with increasing demand.
They need someone who can step in and make a difference, not just follow process, but improve it.
The role:
This position sits at the centre of supplier relationships, internal teams, and operational systems.
You’ll be:
- Driving supplier performance and pushing continuous improvement
- Maintaining accurate system data (and challenging it when it doesn’t look right)
- Supporting procurement and supply chain leadership with day-to-day activity
- Working closely with internal stakeholders to ensure service delivery lands as it should
- Identifying gaps or weaknesses in the supply chain and acting on them
- Expanding and strengthening the supplier network
- Ensuring compliance across quality, health & safety, and environmental standards
- Supporting suppliers with system use and ongoing training
What do you need?
It’s not about ticking every box, it’s about how you approach the work.
You’ll need to:
- Build strong, credible relationships with both suppliers and internal teams
- Communicate clearly and confidently, without overcomplicating things
- Balance collaboration with the ability to challenge when needed
- Have strong attention to detail and a data-led mindset
- Manage competing priorities without letting standards slip
- Be comfortable working with systems and picking things up quickly
What’s on offer?
The environment is people-focused, supportive, and growing at pace without the heavy corporate feel.
Benefits:
- An annual salary of up to £28k (depending on experience)
- 25 days holiday + bank holidays (with flexibility to buy/sell)
- Private healthcare, including mental health support
- Enhanced maternity and paternity pay
- Pension contribution and referral scheme
- Regular social events and a collaborative team culture
