The sourcing, contract and supplier people who keep Boston operations supplied at the right price.
A buyer who can negotiate but not manage suppliers wins the contract and loses the relationship. We test for both.
Logistics around Boston is anchored by the Golden Triangle's national distribution centres and the air-freight hub at East Midlands Airport. We recruit the buyers and category managers who keep those operations supplied.
Many procurement roles blend office, site and remote days. Settling the pattern before the search saves time for everyone.
Procurement demand across the East Midlands follows national distribution centres, airfreight and express operators, e-commerce fulfilment and contract logistics.
Permanent procurement roles, from purchasing assistants to heads of procurement.
We check salary, bonus and hybrid terms against current procurement offers before the role goes out.
We look for buyers who weigh service and risk as carefully as price.
We stay in contact while the new buyer meets the suppliers and takes over the contracts.
Indicative permanent salaries in Boston run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
Our pay advice comes from current offers for comparable buying roles. 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.
An empty buying seat costs money: contracts roll over unchallenged and suppliers set the terms.
Strong buyers value a seat in commercial decisions, good spend data and a manager who backs their negotiations.
