Procurement Specialist in UK

Linney is a world-class, multichannel marketing services business.

We’re looking for someone to join the procurement team to develop the support we offer to the various areas of Linney and its clients.

We are ideally looking for an experienced Print/Media buyer who has an excellent track record in sourcing and negotiating within the industry.

However, applicants with relevant transferable skills will still be considered.

Good communication skills are essential and the ideal candidate will be well organised, have good commercial acumen, calculating and reasoning skills, and be able to remain calm under pressure.

Responsibilities include:

• Managing the procurement of materials and outwork services, ensuring best price, delivery, quality and service
• Liaising with a diverse supply chain of materials and services
• Reviewing procurement activity to incorporate improvements and innovations
• Analysing, researching and benchmarking the marketplace
• Providing a high standard of supply chain expertise for those who ask for materials management
• Maintaining accurate and meaningful data collection relating to all areas of procurement activity
• Managing and maintaining the ongoing development of the group’s approved supplier database

We are looking for the right person, so having both print or media industry knowledge and procurement knowledge is not essential.

Relevant experience in either area, plus a hunger to learn about the other area, is desirable.

Please get in touch if you have any questions about our diversity and inclusion policies, or about accessibility or any accommodations needed during your application process.

We work hard to provide an inspiring environment with opportunity to progress your career.
