About the role

Procurement Project Manager responsible for procurement activities across development and customer projects, coordinating with engineering, supply chain, production and external partners from prototyping to production ramp-up.

Responsibilities

  • Support and lead procurement activities across development and customer projects, ensuring cost, quality, and schedule targets are met across assigned workstreams
  • Engage early in project planning phases to contribute to sourcing strategies, flag potential supply risks, and align procurement timelines with engineering and programme milestones
  • Research, evaluate, and recommend suppliers for technical components and systems, applying clear assessment criteria and escalating trade-offs for senior review where appropriate
  • Serve as a reliable interface between engineering, procurement, suppliers, and production teams, ensuring technical requirements are clearly communicated and that issues are surfaced promptly
  • Support prototyping, industrialisation, and serial production ramp-up phases, adapting procurement approaches as projects move through different stages of development
  • Track supplier performance against agreed commitments and flag deviations in cost, quality, or delivery early enough for corrective action to be taken
  • Contribute to building and maintaining a qualified supplier base that meets Helsing's technical and compliance requirements

Qualifications

  • Have coordinated across cross-functional teams, keeping engineering, production, and supplier stakeholders aligned on priorities and timelines
  • Have supported or led supplier negotiations and relationship management for technical components, with an understanding of what good contract terms look like
  • Bring a structured and methodical approach to managing competing priorities, with the ability to escalate clearly when trade-offs arise
