Hiring a category manager in Broadstairs? We test the negotiation record and the supplier management, because the role needs both.
Every procurement candidate we put forward is screened on the spend they managed and the savings they evidenced.
Procurement vacancies across the South East come from retail and grocery distribution, port and Channel logistics, aerospace and FMCG supply chains and regional 3PLs. Each needs buyers who can balance price, service and risk.
