Helsing is a defense AI company on a mission to protect democracies through technological leadership and ethical AI development. As an Operational Buyer, you will execute daily purchasing activities and manage material flows across production and project workstreams, ensuring seamless availability of goods before supply gaps become programme risks.
Your responsibilities include generating, tracking, and expediting purchase orders across assigned production and project workstreams to secure material availability and directly influence whether Helsing meets programme commitments on time. You will analyze MRP reports, inventory levels, and demand forecasts continuously, surfacing deviations and coordinating supply escalations promptly to minimize disruption to production schedules.
You will serve as the primary point of contact for suppliers within your scope, resolving order discrepancies, shipping delays, and quality issues while maintaining an accurate, real-time picture of material status. Working across supplier, logistics, and production boundaries, you will process and track purchase orders, analyze MRP outputs, and coordinate vendor delivery schedules to protect Helsing's programme commitments.
You will take genuine ownership of defined planning workstreams, supported by senior colleagues, while building the judgment to manage escalations and improve the processes that keep material flowing reliably. This role offers the opportunity to work on mission-critical defence AI initiatives within an ambitious team of engineers, AI specialists, and customer-facing programme managers who embrace an open and transparent culture.
