The vacancy
Do you have experience in materials coordination, supply chain, or contract coordination ? If so, we’d love to hear from you!
We’re looking for a proactive and commercially minded individual to be our next Commercial Business Partner to coordinate relationships with our materials suppliers, support the management of waste services and related contracts, and work closely with colleagues across the business to ensure operational teams receive the support, information and resources they need to deliver excellent customer outcomes.
You’ll also play a key role in making sure our information and processes stays accurate, well governed and audit ready, so our operational teams always have what they need to deliver great outcomes for our customers.
Although the focus is on materials supply and our waste contract, you’ll also have the chance to support managers with subcontractor admin, framework compliance, and performance reporting alongside KPI reporting and performance summaries.
If you thrive in a fast‑paced environment, enjoy working with data, and can build strong relationships with both internal teams and suppliers, we’d love to hear from you.
About you
We’re looking for someone who can bring:
- Experience in procurement, materials coordination, supply chain, or contract administration.
- Enjoys building strong working relationships and collaborating with colleagues across operational and support teams to drive effective service delivery.
- Strong organisational and analytical skills, with a keen eye for detail.
- Confidence raising purchase orders and working with purchasing or financial systems.
- Clear, professional communication skills with the ability to engage a range of stakeholders.
- The ability to interpret KPIs, performance data and supplier information to support decision‑making.
You’ll be part of a collaborative commercial function that plays a vital role in supporting operational excellence. You’ll have opportunities to work across a broad supply chain, develop your commercial skills, and help shape better value and performance for the organisation.
