Job details:
Senior Buyer / Senior Procurement Officer
Anyone can raise a PO. We need someone who can read the numbers and the stock room at the same time who spots a sales spike before it becomes a stock-out, picks up the phone to a UK supplier with confidence, negotiates a fair outcome, and stays on it until it's resolved. If you see buying as where the business actually gets built, this is your seat at the table.
About Us
For 20+ years, Tools4Trade has supplied trade professionals and serious DIYers across the UK with Industrial Powertools, Hand Tools, and Powertool Accessories - now a £30M+ business and still growing. We're headquartered in London, with a growing branch in India, and we're actively expanding our on-site team here as the business scales. Procurement, sales, marketing and product all work as one operation across both locations, not two separate ones.
Please note: this role is based in our Noida office, working Indian Standard Time - it is not a UK shift role. You'll work closely with UK colleagues and suppliers during the day, but your working hours will follow IST.
What You'll Own
- Supplier Relationships That Matter - build lasting relationships with our UK suppliers, built on follow-through, not just paperwork
- Data-Led Buying Decisions - analyse sales trends, demand patterns and stock levels to make smart purchasing calls
- Inventory Intelligence - spot slow-moving stock, excess inventory and stock-out risks before they become real problems
- Confident Negotiation - lead supplier calls and meetings, and negotiate outcomes that genuinely work for the business
- Impact Beyond the PO - contribute directly to availability, inventory efficiency and profitability across the business
Must Haves
- Commercially minded, with the instincts to see the bigger picture, not just the transaction
- Owns problems end-to-end - no handing things off halfway
- A confident communicator who can hold their own with suppliers
- Willing and able to work on-site, full time, from our Noida, Sector 62 office
Nice to Have
- Prior experience buying for a similar industry (min. 4-5 yrs. of Experience)
- A track record of spotting slow-movers, excess stock or stock-out risk early
- Leadership instincts - ready to guide and grow with a team over time
Why Join Tools4Trade
You'll be joining a business on a genuine growth trajectory, with headquarters in London and an expanding India team you'll be part of building. We're looking for people who care about where the business is headed and want to grow with it - not just clock in and out. Your decisions on stock and supplier strategy will have visible, direct impact. You'll work cross-functionally with UK and India colleagues, gain real exposure to international supplier negotiation, and build a career in procurement that goes well beyond order processing.
