From purchasing assistants to heads of procurement, we find permanent buyers in Altrincham who negotiate well and manage suppliers better.
Good procurement protects margin quietly, one contract at a time. That is what we recruit for.
Procurement vacancies across the North West come from grocery and retail distribution, 3PLs, port and container logistics and air and sea forwarders. Each needs buyers who can balance price, service and risk.
Direct buying, indirect procurement, category management and contract management call for different people. The search is shaped to the role.
Procurement roles across the North West buy for operations at sites such as the M6, M62 and M58 corridor parks and the Port of Liverpool.
Permanent procurement roles, from purchasing assistants to heads of procurement.
Freight, warehousing, fleet, fuel, packaging or materials handling: we match buyers to the categories you buy.
We ask for a real negotiation, what was at stake and what the candidate gave away to win it.
Where the role asks for a professional procurement qualification such as CIPS, we confirm it before the shortlist.
Indicative permanent salaries in Altrincham run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
If the offer looks light against the procurement market, we say so before interviews are arranged. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Most good buyers are approached, not found on job boards.
A small number of candidates, each with notes on categories, spend and results.
We help agree the package and manage the notice period through to the start date.
Interim buyers are useful for a single project. Ongoing categories need someone who will still be there at the next renewal.
