Responsibilities
- Drive selection, availability and supplier performance - Own the day-to-day health of the supply network: selection breadth, live inventory accuracy, and fulfilment reliability.
- Use Partly’s supplier performance features and data to identify where each supplier is under-performing, and build the playbook to address it.
- Set the priorities: where to add coverage, where to expand integrations, where to push for better pricing and which suppliers to recruit.
- Lead with data, hands-on - Live in the dashboards. Build new ones where they don’t exist.
- Produce the insights that inform supplier conversations, internal trade-offs, and roadmap prioritisation, both internal (for leadership and Product) and external (for suppliers themselves).
- Turn signals into action: spot a coverage gap, an availability dip, or a slipping supplier, and drive the response.
- Be the supplier advocate - Synthesise supplier needs, pain points, and feedback into a clear point of view that lands internally.
- Represent suppliers in product, engineering, and operational decisions, making sure their reality shapes what we build and how we operate.
- Build trust through consistency: be the person suppliers know, call, and rely on.
- Partner cross-functionally - Work closely with Sales (to prioritise new supplier acquisition), Solutions Engineering (to scope live inventory integrations), Customer Success (to drive supplier engagement on the Partly experience), and Account Management (for repairer-side signal).
- Visit suppliers onsite when it matters. Real relationships still get built in workshops and yards.
Requirements
- Analytical and commercial: You think in numbers and trade-offs. You can build a model, defend a recommendation, and translate data into a commercial outcome.
- Hands-on operator: Comfortable in the weeds. You pull the data yourself, write the SQL or the pivot, run the supplier review, and fix the issue. You don’t wait for someone else to produce the dashboard.
- Strong communicator and influencer: You can sit with a supplier, a Product Manager, and a senior leader in the same week and earn credibility with each. Calm, clear, well-prepared.
- Customer empathy, supply-side: You take the time to understand suppliers’ businesses (how they make money, what frustrates them, what they need from us) and translate that into clear internal advocacy.
- Ownership mindset: Proactive, decisive, and comfortable operating with autonomy in a fast-paced, high-growth environment. You don’t wait to be told.
- Tech-savvy: Fluent with the tools that move the work (BI/analytics, CRMs, integration concepts). You can hold a credible conversation with engineering when you need to.
Nice to Have
- Exposure to marketplaces, supplier networks, automotive parts, or B2B SaaS where the supply side matters.
