Supplier Delivery Manager - #145436

Job Description

This hybrid role offers a great balance of home and office working. You’ll join your colleagues in your local office, on site, or visiting suppliers for at least two days a week.

As the UK’s largest fibre-only network, and its only proven wholesale challenger, we’re busy setting new standards for what digital infrastructure can and should be.

Designed from scratch for the internet, our network is greener, more reliable and ready for the future. The products we provide over it not only lead the market on speed, value and service, they help businesses to innovate, provide entire communities with a better foundation for their digital lives and support economic growth, locally and nationally.

What does that mean for you? The opportunity to make internet connections (and daily life) a whole lot better, for a lot of people!

Joining us as a Supplier Delivery Manager

You’ll play a key role in ensuring suppliers meet our standards and timelines as we expand our full fibre network. With a focus on performance and risk management, you’ll drive continuous improvement and protect our business as we work with key partners. This is a fantastic opportunity to have a direct impact on the success of our strategic supplier relationships.

You’ll receive a competitive salary, a £6,000 car allowance, a performance related bonus, and a range of benefits to support you across your financial, physical and mental wellbeing.

This is some of what you can expect to be doing:

• Build and maintain collaborative relationships with key strategic suppliers
• Establish and monitor KPIs, conducting performance reviews and addressing issues promptly
• Identify supplier risks and develop effective mitigation strategies
• Negotiate cost reductions and identify opportunities for better value
• Work closely with internal teams to ensure suppliers meet operational needs
• Analyse performance data and provide regular reports to identify trends and improvements
  
  
  

What You’ll Bring To The Role

You’ll have proven experience in supplier management, procurement, or a related field, with strong performance and relationship management skills. You’ll also have:

• Expertise in risk management and performance improvement
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
• Analytical and problem-solving abilities
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite (Excel, Word, PowerPoint)
• Experience with CRM systems (e.g., Salesforce, ServiceNow) is desirable
• A proactive and collaborative approach, with a focus on delivering results
