The Opportunity

We’re looking for a motivated graduate to join a technology start-up based in Birmingham.

This is a great opportunity for someone who has recently completed a degree in Supply Chain, Procurement, Business or a related subject and wants to build a career in supply chain management.

You’ll be involved in purchasing, working with suppliers, managing stock and helping ensure products and materials arrive on time to support production.

The business works with suppliers across the UK, Europe and Asia, giving you exposure to international supply chains and the opportunity to develop your commercial and operational skills.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Helping manage relationships with suppliers in the UK and overseas.

• Supporting the purchasing of materials and components needed for production.

• Tracking orders and deliveries to make sure everything arrives on time.

• Helping manage stock levels and ensuring materials are available when needed.

• Working with suppliers to resolve delivery, pricing or quality issues.

• Supporting international shipping, imports and logistics.

• Keeping purchasing and stock records accurate and up to date.

• Identifying opportunities to improve processes and reduce costs.

• Working closely with the wider team to keep production running smoothly.

What We’re Looking For

We’re particularly interested in speaking with graduates who have studied:

• Supply Chain Management

• Procurement & Purchasing

• Logistics & Operations

• Business Management

• Engineering or a related discipline

You’ll ideally have:

• An interest in supply chain, purchasing and supplier management.

• Good organisational skills and attention to detail.

• Strong communication skills and confidence speaking with suppliers.

• A willingness to learn and take responsibility.

• Good problem-solving skills and a practical approach.

• Confidence using Excel and learning new systems.

• The ability to work in a busy environment where priorities can change.

Previous experience through a placement year, internship or part-time role involving purchasing, logistics or operations would be useful, but isn’t essential.

Nice to Have

• Experience using stock management or ERP systems.

• Knowledge of international shipping or importing goods.

• Mandarin or Cantonese language skills.

• An interest in technology, manufacturing or product development.
