Manager, Supply Chain & Procurement

Location: Scunthorpe, United Kingdom

Type: Permanent, Full-time

Work mode: 3-4 office days, 1-2 days working from home

Start Date: Ideally as soon as possible

We are now looking for a Manager, Supply Chain & Procurement to take end-to-end ownership of sourcing, planning, and inventory control for our UK operations, while supporting R&D activities at our Finland headquarters.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys creating order in complex, variable environments. You like systems that run smoothly, plans that reflect reality, and decisions grounded in data. You are comfortable working in early-stage environments where structure still needs to be built - and you enjoy building it.

The role is permanent, full-time, and based in Scunthorpe, the United Kingdom. Occasional travel within Europe, including Finland, may be required.

Key Performance Objectives:

In this role, success is defined by outcomes rather than tasks. Within your first 12–18 months, you will be expected to:

• Build and execute a robust sourcing strategy for bulk construction materials that balances cost, continuity of supply, and risk diversification.
  

• Establish and manage an approved supplier base with clear performance expectations, long-term agreements, and reliable delivery performance.
  

• Translate sales forecasts and order patterns into accurate material demand plans for:
  

  • Admixtures

  • 3D-printed mortar

  • Batch-mixed self-compacting concrete

  • Pre-bent and cut steel reinforcement bars

  • Cement, aggregates, sand, cementitious substitutes (GGBS, PFA), and machine consumables
    

• Align demand plans with production capacity, batching constraints, and operational realities.
  

• Anticipate and manage seasonality, weather-driven demand spikes, and short lead-time orders.
  

• Define and maintain effective min/max inventory levels and safety stocks for silos, stockpiles, racking, and admixture tanks, in close collaboration with the Warehouse Manager.
  

• Protect material quality and working capital by preventing cement ageing, admixture expiry, and aggregate contamination.
  

• Own ERP/MRP planning parameters (lead times, reorder points, consumption rates) and ensure BOMs and mix designs align with planning logic.
  

• Run and validate MRP outputs, resolving shortages, excess inventory, and planning exceptions.
  

• Proactively identify supply risks (weather, quarry shutdowns, haulage constraints) and execute contingency plans.
  

• Improve visibility and decision-making through clear reporting on stock availability, inventory value, waste, and obsolescence.
  

• Drive measurable improvements in inventory turns, service levels, emergency buying, and material waste.

Before submitting your application, consider the following:

• What excites you about building predictable, resilient supply chains in a fast-growing industrial startup?
  

• Which accomplishments best demonstrate your ability to manage bulk materials, demand variability, and supply risk?
  

• How do you balance availability, working capital, and operational reality in your current or previous roles?
  

• What motivates you about working in a team where systems are still evolving and your input shapes how things are done?
  

What we offer:

• Competitive salary (40,000 GBP/yearly and there's room for negotiation)

• Private medical insurance

• Workplace pension scheme

• 25 annual + 8 statutory holidays

• An exciting opportunity to become a part of brand-new operations team in the UK

• Full ownership to Supply Chain & Logistics matters
