Senior Buyer

Senior Buyer – £60,000 + Benefits

Based: High Wycombe area (on-site Mon–Thurs, Friday WFH)

Procurement Heads are partnering with a highly successful manufacturing business, seeking a driven and hands-on Senior Buyer to take ownership of the end-to-end procurement process. This is a role for a true doer – someone equally comfortable raising POs and chasing suppliers as they are sourcing new suppliers, negotiating contracts, and driving cost avoidance initiatives.

You’ll be joining a well-established manufacturer of garden and home-build products (including ironmongery and DIY-related items), where procurement plays a pivotal role in both operational success and strategic growth.

What You’ll Do

• Working as part of a team of Buyers, you will manage the end-to-end buying cycle: from raising purchase orders through to supplier delivery and performance monitoring.
• Source and onboard new suppliers – with a focus on low-cost country sourcing (e.g. India, Far East).
• Lead supplier negotiations, securing best value and driving cost savings and avoidance.
• Review and challenge existing contracts, identifying gaps and opportunities to improve terms and unlock savings.
• Build and maintain strong supplier relationships to ensure quality, timely delivery, and long-term value.
• Work closely with internal stakeholders to ensure procurement supports business objectives.

What We’re Looking For

• Proven experience across the full procurement lifecycle, ideally in a manufacturing environment within garden, home improvement, DIY, or ironmongery products.
• Strong background in low-cost country sourcing and supplier management.
• Comfortable with both operational purchasing and strategic negotiations.
• Commercially astute, with the initiative to spot opportunities and the drive to make an impact.
• A proactive problem-solver who thrives in a fast-paced environment.

Why Join Us?

• Competitive salary up to £60,000 plus benefits ( Including PMI) and company bonus.
• Hybrid working: Mon–Thurs on-site, Friday WFH.
• Opportunity to make a tangible impact on a growing business.
• Be part of a supportive and ambitious team, with scope to progress.
