Confident negotiation and cost-control skills, with an appreciation of quality and craftsmanship. Experience managing physical materials, stock and inventory. Strong planning skills and the ability to coordinate competing priorities. A track record of improving processes and making day-to-day operations run more smoothly.

Essential experience You'll have experience buying raw materials and components, such as steel and other metals, stone, timber or other specialist materials, for a manufacturing or bespoke production environment. We're looking for someone who has sourced what goes into making a finished product, rather than buying finished goods for resale.

Our designers, craftspeople and wider team work closely with specialist suppliers and partners to bring each piece to life. You’ll play a central role in making that collaboration work beautifully. The Opportunity We are looking for an experienced Procurement / Purchasing professional from a manufacturing or bespoke production environment to take ownership of procurement, supplier relationships, materials and stock, while playing a key role in the day-to-day operational flow of our Oxfordshire workshop. This is not a retail buying role or a purely strategic procurement position. You'll be close to the workshop, working directly with production, design, sales and finance to make sure the right materials and services are available at the right time, to the right specification and at the right cost. You'll also have the opportunity to help improve the way we operate, including supporting the implementation of Sage 200, strengthening stock control and developing more effective purchasing and operational processes.

Your background might include luxury interiors, bespoke furniture, architectural lighting, decorative metalwork, stone or another design-led business where craftsmanship and quality matter. You’ll be comfortable working closely with a workshop, understanding practical requirements and balancing creative priorities with commercial realities. You may already be a Procurement, Operations or Supply Chain Manager, or an experienced Buyer ready to take on wider responsibility. What matters is your ability to bring clarity, care and commercial judgement to a varied, hands-on role. You’ll Bring: Strong procurement, buying and supplier-management experience. Confident negotiation and cost-control skills, with an appreciation of quality and craftsmanship. Experience managing physical materials, stock and inventory. Strong planning skills and the ability to coordinate competing priorities. A track record of improving processes and making day-to-day operations run more smoothly. Clear communication and a collaborative approach across creative, commercial and workshop teams. Practical problem-solving, attention to detail and a willingness to take ownership. Even Better If You Bring: Experience with bespoke, luxury or high-value products. Knowledge of metals, stone or other specialist materials. ERP implementation experience, particularly Sage 200. Workshop planning, logistics or fleet experience. Health & Safety knowledge. Experience applying structured process improvements in a craft or design-led setting. Why David Harber? This is an opportunity to bring your commercial and organisational strengths to a business creating pieces of lasting beauty. You’ll work close to the design and craftsmanship, see the tangible results of your contribution and have the scope to shape how the business operates. As your knowledge and responsibilities grow, there is a longer-term opportunity to develop towards Head of Operations. Bring Your Eye for Detail to Something Exceptional.
