• Develop and maintain production schedules and material plans in line with demand forecasts.
• Identify opportunities to reduce material costs, improve supplier performance and optimise stock levels.
• Source, evaluate and negotiate with suppliers to achieve the best balance of cost, quality and service.
• Support new product introductions and production ramp-ups.
• Maintain accurate material costings, planning data and inventory records.
• Work closely with production, quality, engineering and other departments to resolve supply chain challenges.
• Support continuous improvement and lean manufacturing initiatives.
• Provide hands-on support to the wider team, contributing wherever needed to ensure smooth site operations.

About you

• Experience in supply chain management, procurement, purchasing, inventory or logistics.
• Previous experience within a manufacturing environment is highly desirable.
• Strong supplier management and negotiation skills, with a track record of identifying cost-saving opportunities.
• Good understanding of inventory control, materials planning and transportation.
• A practical, flexible approach with the ability to manage competing priorities.
• Comfortable working in a small team where collaboration and a willingness to get involved are essential.
• A proactive problem-solver who can take ownership and work independently.
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills.
• Fluency in Spanish is essential.
• Good English communication skills are also required.

What’s on offer?

• Salary of €45,000–€55,000, with flexibility for an exceptional candidate.
• A key role with direct access to the Operations Director.
• The opportunity to take ownership of the supply chain function and influence operational performance.
• A varied, hands-on position with scope to identify and implement improvements.
• The chance to make a meaningful contribution within a close-knit manufacturing operation.
