The posting

Strategic Procurement Manager (Onsite - Cape Town)

Are you the person who sees the stock problem coming three months before anyone else does, and fixes it before it costs a cent?

We’re working with an established, privately held manufacturer and distributor of building materials that is growing fast. They’re opening new branches, expanding manufacturing and building out a national footprint. The challenge is that too much cash is sitting in warehouse stock and too much buying happens ad hoc at branch level, while every branch still needs to be stocked ahead of growth. This newly created senior role reports directly to the CEO. You’ll centralise procurement, plan demand ahead and build the national planning function from the ground up.

To be clear, this is not a traditional buying role. They want a forward thinker who leads with forecasting.

REQUIRED PROFILE

  • 5 to 8+ years of group-level procurement or demand planning in a multi-branch distribution or manufacturing business
  • Proven forecasting and demand planning experience, which is the core of this role
  • Track record of managing people, ideally leading stock or planning teams across multiple sites
  • Experience owning high-value categories (steel is a strong advantage) and setting national supplier contracts, SLAs and scorecards
  • Comfortable leading change and moving teams from local buying to a centralised, planned model
  • Bachelor’s Degree or Advanced Diploma in Supply Chain, Logistics, Commerce or a quantitative field
  • SA citizen or valid work permit, available for a new-year start

TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS

  • Advanced ERP experience
  • Advanced Excel (data modelling, pivots) and comfortable building forecasting models from scratch
  • Inventory optimisation: stock health, slow movers, branch min/max levels, inter-branch transfers
  • Import coordination: price indexes, FX, tariffs, freight forwarders and customs

NICE TO HAVE

  • Power BI
  • Background in steel, building materials, construction or wholesale distribution
  • CIPS or APICS-CPIM certification

Compensation: R60 000 per month (negotiable)

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
