Senior Technical Buyer

At BOLD, we design and build the next generation of high-performance battery systems for the world’s most demanding industries — from Formula 1 and hypercars to aerospace, marine and defense. Our mission: to deliver energy systems where every millisecond and every degree matter.

The Senior Technical Buyer will be responsible for managing procurement for our battery and electrification technologies, with a focus on electrical and electronic components (PCBA, HV electrical distribution).

Alongside day-to-day purchasing, you will help us improve how procurement works: reviewing current processes, spotting what can be done better and putting practical improvements in place. As the team grows, there is a clear opportunity to take on a Team Lead role.

What You’ll Do

Procurement

• Manage direct and indirect purchasing: electronic components (PCBA, HV distribution), industrial products, spare parts, work materials, consumables and services.
• Negotiate contracts, prices and commercial terms with suppliers and logistics providers.
• Contribute to sourcing strategies for key commodities, balancing cost, quality, lead time and supply risk.
• Work on cost-saving initiatives and look for alternative suppliers.
• Identify and evaluate new strategic suppliers for key components and raw materials.
  
  

Process improvement

• Review current procurement processes, identify what works and what doesn’t, and propose and implement improvements.
• Standardise procurement procedures and documents (RFI/RFP/RFQ, supplier qualification, approval flows).
• Track procurement KPIs (savings, on-time delivery, lead time, supplier performance) and use them to support decisions.
• Make good use of the ERP (Odoo) for procurement: data quality, workflows and reporting.
  
  

Supplier management

• Build and maintain long-term relationships with key suppliers.
• Continuously assess suppliers’ capabilities, risks and performance to ensure continuity of supply.
• Make sure purchased materials meet technical and quality specifications.

• Coordinate with Planning and Logistics to align purchasing with demand.
