Senior Partnerships Manager

About the Role: London is a global centre for commerce, logistics, and international business, and at Cleope Supply Solutions Ltd, we bring that same standard of precision and reliability to supply chain operations. We help businesses coordinate procurement, inventory, suppliers, and distribution through efficient and scalable processes. We are looking for a Senior Supply Chain Manager (m/f/d) who can take ownership of our end to end supply chain performance. You aren't simply managing deliveries; you are developing strategies that improve efficiency, strengthen supplier relationships, and support sustainable business growth. You will work closely with procurement, operations, finance, and commercial teams to ensure that products and resources move efficiently across the organisation.

Why Work With Us?

The Environment: Our London office provides a professional and collaborative setting with convenient access to the city's major commercial districts. We value a workspace where people can focus, exchange ideas, and solve operational challenges together.

Supply Chain Excellence: We believe effective supply chain management is more than reducing costs. You will have the opportunity to improve planning, strengthen supplier performance, and introduce processes that make our operations more resilient.

Modern Systems: We use cloud based inventory platforms, procurement systems, reporting dashboards, and digital workflow tools to improve visibility across our supply chain. Our teams rely on accurate information and practical technology to make better decisions.

Growth: We support professional development through industry training, supply chain conferences, professional certifications, and opportunities to lead cross functional improvement initiatives.

Key Responsibilities:

Supply Chain Strategy: Develop and implement supply chain strategies that improve availability, service levels, cost efficiency, and operational resilience.

Supplier Management: Build strong relationships with strategic suppliers, monitor supplier performance, and work with partners to resolve quality, delivery, and commercial issues.

Demand and Inventory Planning: Oversee forecasting, inventory planning, replenishment, and stock management to maintain appropriate service levels while controlling working capital.

Operational Improvement: Identify bottlenecks and inefficiencies across procurement, warehousing, transportation, and distribution processes and implement measurable improvements.

Team Leadership: Lead and mentor supply chain professionals, establish clear objectives, and promote a culture of accountability, collaboration, and continuous improvement.

Performance Management: Establish and monitor KPIs covering supplier performance, inventory accuracy, order fulfilment, lead times, costs, and delivery reliability.

Stakeholder Management: Work closely with procurement, finance, operations, commercial, and customer teams to align supply chain priorities with wider business objectives.

What We Are Looking For:

Experience: 6+ years of experience in supply chain management, procurement, logistics, operations, or a related field, with previous experience managing teams or complex supply chain projects.

Leadership: Demonstrated ability to lead teams, coordinate cross functional initiatives, manage competing priorities, and make informed operational decisions.

Analytical Skills: Strong analytical and problem solving abilities, with experience working with forecasts, inventory data, supplier performance metrics, budgets, and operational KPIs.

Technology: Comfortable using Microsoft Excel, ERP systems, procurement platforms, inventory management software, reporting dashboards, and other modern supply chain technologies.

Communication: Excellent written and verbal English communication skills, with the ability to build effective relationships with suppliers, colleagues, customers, and senior stakeholders.

Mindset: You are commercially aware, organised, and solutions focused. You understand that a strong supply chain requires both strategic thinking and attention to operational detail. You know when to optimise an existing process and when to introduce a completely new approach.
