• Manage relationships with suppliers and shipping agents, ensuring reliability, quality, and cost-effectiveness
• Monitor and maintain optimal stock levels, reducing risk related to delays or shortages
• Collaborate with production to align raw material planning with the Master Production Schedule (MPS)
• Support product costing, pricing, and margin analysis to inform commercial decisions
• Assist with customer queries, product requests, and sample coordination
• Maintain and update pricing structures in line with market trends and cost movements
• Contribute to budgeting, cash flow planning, and cost control in collaboration with finance
• Identify and implement process improvements across procurement and supply chain operations
• Ensure accurate record-keeping and compliance for audit and reporting purposes
What We’re Looking For
• Minimum 5+ years’ experience in procurement, supply chain, or purchasing
• Proven experience managing imports and exports (essential)

• Have a strong commercial mindset and naturally look for ways to improve margins and efficiencies
• Are comfortable operating across multiple functions — from suppliers to customers to internal teams
• Bring structure and clarity to complex or fast-moving environments
• Are proactive, solutions-driven, and able to anticipate risks before they arise
• Communicate confidently and build strong relationships with both internal and external stakeholders
