The sourcing, contract and supplier people who keep Brighton operations supplied at the right price.
A permanent buyer should leave the supplier base stronger than they found it.
Operations at sites such as the parks along the M25, M20 and M23 and the Solent ports depend on suppliers that deliver. We match buyers to the categories that keep them running.
We ask candidates what they have bought, the spend they managed and how the savings they claim were measured.
Across the South East, buyers and category managers are hired by grocery and retail DCs, Channel-port and customs operations, FMCG supply chains and national 3PLs.
Buying, category, sourcing and contract roles.
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.
We stay in contact while the new buyer meets the suppliers and takes over the contracts.
Indicative permanent salaries in Brighton 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.
Most good buyers are approached, not found on job boards.
We arrange interviews and any negotiation exercise or presentation, then brief each candidate.
We ask referees about savings delivered and supplier relationships, not just dates of employment.
A permanent buyer learns your suppliers, your contracts and your history of price rises. That knowledge compounds at every renewal.
We describe the spend data and systems as they really are, so nobody is surprised in month one.
