Procurement recruitment for Aviemore employers buying freight, warehousing, fleet, fuel and packaging, where every renewal counts.
Every procurement candidate we put forward is screened on the spend they managed and the savings they evidenced.
Procurement employers across the Highlands & Islands include distillery and agri-food supply chains, marine and renewables logistics plus multi-modal operators serving the islands. Each buys differently, so we recruit to the categories rather than the job title.
Direct buying, indirect procurement, category management and contract management call for different people. The search is shaped to the role.
With the A9 and A82, Inverness Airport and the ferry links to Orkney, Shetland and the Western Isles carrying the region's freight, buyers across the Highlands & Islands often manage haulage and carrier contracts as a major category.
The people who source, negotiate and manage the contracts.
We ask candidates how their savings were measured and signed off before we put them forward.
We ask for a real negotiation, what was at stake and what the candidate gave away to win it.
Winning a contract is half the job. We look for buyers who manage suppliers well after the signature.
Indicative permanent salaries in Aviemore run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
The package matters as much as the salary: bonus, flexibility and how much the business values procurement. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Categories, spend, suppliers, systems and the result the new buyer needs to deliver.
Spend, savings, negotiations, systems and right to work checked before the first interview.
A small number of candidates, each with notes on categories, spend and results.
Supplier relationships improve with continuity. Changing buyers often resets them.
If a procurement role is hard to fill, we find out whether pay, scope or reporting line is the cause and tell you plainly.
