You'll have a Senior Buyer alongside you and real scope to take on more responsibility as you prove yourself. The business has a clear progression path, Senior Buyer, Procurement Manager, Supply Chain Manager, and the investment and growth trajectory mean those opportunities are real, not just words on a page.
