Though very energetic and creative, there are also many proud traditions in this company. Many colleagues have worked hard to bring the company to its Number 1 position in Thailand.

Senior Purchasing Manager
Are you buying?
(Ref.No.521)

OUR CLIENT REQUIRES:

I was really impressed at my meeting with the Managing Director and his executive colleagues. They were well prepared and as I am writing this brief for you, I'm now looking at organisation charts, their excellent sales and marketing material which shows a graph of an incredible growth in revenue over the 10 years since arriving in Thailand, it shows an impressive customer list of brand name companies around the world, and it shows photos and examples of their products which are almost all for export. Can't wait to show you.

I have met the client several times at their Bangpoo facility and I've talked to several of their top executives to learn more about their business and their culture. We always do this so we can share with you why their "grass is greener" than where you are working now. Perhaps. Believe me, you will love to find out what this job is all about. And who they are.

OK, so the background is that Sourcing and Purchasing are going to be split into two departments. Their Sourcing department is identifying reliable suppliers and negotiating frame agreements. You and the team of 14 people, yes 14 staff is what you have to manage, will then work closely with Production. You get the BOM, place the orders and then ensure delivery as per the agreements.

Of course it happens that the supplier is out of stock, goods are not ready to be shipped as required. Or other unexpected issues. This is where we expect you to keep your cool. Problem solving, thinking on your feet, hands-on when it counts, work until you are done. You and the team must follow the order from it's placed and until it is at your door steps in the warehouse. All hallmarks of the superior Senior Purchasing Manager we are looking to find for our client.
You report directly to the Managing Director (expat). He has been working in Thailand for seven years and whilst he appreciates the beautiful Thai culture he is also a no-nonsense business executive who demands you are independent, that you have strong decision making skills, pay attention to details, and blame nobody but yourself if you mess up things (which we don't expect you do anyway). He told me: 'Tom, I don't want to be a baby-sitter or nanny for my managers".

Qualifications

• Many years of handling a large purchasing budget for a manufacturing company with thousands of parts. Direct and in-direct purchase.
  
• Good understanding of logistics flow as well as experience in managing lead times from order until goods received.
  
• Good leadership skills to manage and motivate your fourteen staff. But also a hands-on attitude so you can coach and even step in when a staff member is absent.
  
• Able to work fast, think quick and on your feet. Stay cool even you are stressed out.
  
• Results-oriented. Driven by excellence and competing with yourself.
  
• Really really good in spoken Thai and English. You are probably Thai but we are open to non-Thais as well (but only if you have work experience from Thailand).

When I meet you, please bring me some good stories from your career. Tell me what you have done that seems to come close to what I have told you above. Looking forward to talking to you and also meeting you face-to-face. One of my researchers will be in touch with you. Or call us. We like to hear from you. Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,
Tom Sorensen, Partner,
Grant Thornton's Executive Recruitment

A full brief of the client and their background will be provided once we meet with you. We have photos, product catalogues, company and marketing presentations, organisation charts and so on.
