Bettys & Taylors of Harrogate is a food and drink business employing over 1,250 people in the catering, retail and manufacturing sectors. Our unique business is devoted to many of life's pleasures; handmade cakes, mouth-watering chocolates, beautiful Café Tea Rooms and delicious coffee and tea. We remain in family ownership and the Board is chaired by a family shareholder.
Our ambitions are based around our growth in the successful product categories of tea and coffee. Our largest brand, Yorkshire Tea is the number three brand in the UK market with a value share of 13%; and our Taylors of Harrogate roast and ground coffee is the leading retail brand with a share of 15%.
We are looking for an Indirect Buyer to join our new Central Purchasing team supporting Bettys and Taylors Group. The focus of this role is initially to support the roll out of professional buying practices across the indirect categories, through project managing the transition of individual categories into central ownership. This will involve you working with key stakeholders across the business to collaboratively agree the route forward.
Once the category is under central ownership you will be responsible for managing day to day purchasing and supplier management activities in accordance with our buying policy. Using your experience you will create effective working relationships with both internal customers and the most appropriate suppliers.
As an Indirect Buyer you will ideally have a background in either FMCG or Manufacturing with experience of buying within more than one sector or organisation.
You will be able to demonstrate experience of strategy development within a specific category with continuous improvement activity within the buying function. This will be combined with cross functional team working and responsibility for buying under a spend category.
Core competencies in this role include:
- Strategic thinking with the ability to plan and prioritise
- High level of written and spoken English
- Ability to influence and persuade
- Strong background of managing relationships
- Confident user of Microsoft Office
- CIPS qualification or equivalent
- Accuracy and attention to detail
- Ability to work with fluctuating priorities
- Experience of an E-procurement requisitioning system.
- It would be desirable to us if you have had facilities management services buying or engineering buying experience.
To be considered for this role please apply with a current CV including a cover letter to support your application
Interviews are expected to take place w/c 12th March 2012.
