From purchasing assistants to heads of procurement, we find permanent buyers in Chelsea who negotiate well and manage suppliers better.
The strongest buyers are rarely job hunting. They are usually in the middle of a tender somewhere else.
As part of Greater London, Chelsea draws on one of the country's deepest — and most fought-over — pools of logistics and supply chain talent. Across London & the South East, procurement teams buy for operations at sites such as the London Gateway and Tilbury corridors and the north London depots.
A buyer who leaves mid-tender takes the negotiation history and the supplier relationships with them.
Procurement demand across London & the South East follows e-commerce and grocery fulfilment operations, parcel and last-mile carriers, airfreight forwarders and retail distribution centres.
From junior buyers to procurement directors.
Winning a contract is half the job. We look for buyers who manage suppliers well after the signature.
We check salary, bonus and hybrid terms against current procurement offers before the role goes out.
We stay in contact while the new buyer meets the suppliers and takes over the contracts.
Indicative permanent salaries in Chelsea run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
Strategic and category roles usually pay more than transactional purchasing roles. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Categories, spend, suppliers, systems and the result the new buyer needs to deliver.
We arrange interviews and any negotiation exercise or presentation, then brief each candidate.
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.
If a procurement role is hard to fill, we find out whether pay, scope or reporting line is the cause and tell you plainly.
