Supplier Manager
Location: Glasgow (hybrid)
Reports to: Chief Commercial Officer
Type: Full time, permanent
We are looking for a Strategic Supplier Manager to lead the commercial strategy and senior relationships behind our most important suppliers and partners. These are six-figure, multi-year contracts that are critical to our products and services we deliver to customers. Reporting to the Chief Commercial Officer, you will shape commercial strategy and engagement with these suppliers, own those relationships at a senior level, and step in to support our team's day to day when commercial input is needed.
This is a strategic commercial role for someone who thinks in terms of margin, leverage and growth through long-term partnerships. What matters most is your ability to manage large, business-critical supplier relationships and turn them into an advantage. You will work closely with operations, service management, product management, finance and sales, but your focus is the commercial relationship itself: where to consolidate, where to diversify, and which partnerships to deepen.
If you enjoy shaping strategy and can hold your own in a negotiation with a major supplier, this one is for you.
