Controller - Contract Manufacture

Do you have procurement or supply experience, looking for your next career move? We have an exciting opportunity for a Controller Contract Manufacturing to join our Procurement team at our head office site in Colwick, Nottingham. The primary function of this role is to provide support for our contract manufacturing process to ensure orders are placed in a timely manner to meet the requirements of internal and external customers.

You’ll be the ‘front-line’ point of contact for vendors and key business stakeholders, and as a result, you’ll need to ensure effective communication is achieved, alongside development and maintenance of relationships. A key element for Procurement being successful will be the management of purchase orders, both placing, expediting and monitoring supplier performance. Contract Manufacture goods have become increasingly important to Hunter Douglas UK Retail and this role will be pivotal to further success as we expand both the number of vendors and products.

You will be working with various teams across the business, so excellent communication and problem solving skills are a must. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to make a positive difference in shaping efficiencies and streamlining systems.

A self-starter with a keen eye for detail and the ability to confidently solve issues through prioritising and initiative. A ‘can-do’ approach with a flexible and positive nature, you’ll be happy to deal with the administrative and analytical aspects of this job. Experience in a materials or procurement role will help you to hit the ground running, and knowledge of Microsoft Office packages and experience of the mechanics around MRP systems, preferably within SAP, is crucial.

Our people are what make our business and the reason why we are so successful. We believe in the strong culture we have created at Hillarys, and see the benefits of working face to face in a collaborative and supportive way in our newly refurbished offices. We also appreciate the value of extra flexibility that working from home allows, which is why we promote hybrid working. You’ll also receive generous company benefits such as a healthcare and lifestyle benefits package, staff discount, and various health and wellbeing initiatives.

Hillarys is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all our colleagues. If you require any reasonable adjustments to be made for you to attend an interview, please do let us know and we will be happy to accommodate.
