About the Role

This isnt your typical indirect procurement role. While many assume its all about managing contracts for stationery and utilities, this position is far more dynamic and impactful. As our Indirect Buyer, youll play a vital role in keeping the business running smoothly think of it as being the operational heartbeat of the company.

What Youll Be Doing

  • Managing day-to-day indirect purchasing activities : RFQs, POs, supplier communication, and order follow-up
  • Running competitive bids for all indirect requirements, including CapEx and MRP-driven needs
  • Supporting supplier onboarding and ensuring ongoing compliance
  • Managing documentation for on-site contractors
  • Coordinating with the on-site integrated supplier team, including daily reports and cost-saving initiatives
