About us

Established in 2008 and based in York, we supply over 10,000 products from more than 100 international brands to customers across the UK and Europe. The group also operates from a location in Poznan, Poland.

The opportunity

As our supplier base grows, we're looking for a Supplier Relationship Manager to develop our international brand partnerships and help shape our product range. Reporting directly to the Procurement & Commercial Growth Director, you will take ownership of a defined supplier portfolio, with the autonomy to negotiate commercial agreements, identify new brands and drive growth with existing partners. Your portfolio will predominantly comprise the brands whose products we sell, alongside a smaller number of indirect suppliers.

You will be responsible for:

• Managing supplier relationships end to end, acting as the company's primary commercial contact,
• Identifying new brands and product opportunities to grow our range,
• Leading supplier reviews covering sales, growth opportunities, availability and commercial performance,
• Negotiating commercial terms, pricing and promotional agreements,
• Securing and tracking rebates, promotional funding and other agreed supplier contributions,
• Maintaining accurate supplier records and management information,
• Representing the business at international supplier meetings and trade events, with approximately 3-6 trips per year.

About you

You are an experienced procurement, buying or supplier management professional with strong commercial instincts and the confidence to represent the business externally - in meetings, on calls and face to face. You are an able negotiator, well organised, comfortable working with data, and capable of managing a portfolio with a high degree of autonomy. We also welcome applications from experienced buyers ready to take the next step into a role with greater ownership and commercial responsibility.
