Procurement recruitment for Coventry employers buying freight, warehousing, fleet, fuel and packaging, where every renewal counts.
A permanent buyer should leave the supplier base stronger than they found it.
Procurement vacancies across Warwickshire & the West Midlands come from automotive and manufacturing supply chains, national 3PLs and retail distribution centres. Each needs buyers who can balance price, service and risk.
Renewing a major freight or warehousing contract soon? A buyer who has run that tender before is worth finding early.
With the M6, M69, M1 and A45, Birmingham Airport and Coventry's rail connections carrying the region's freight, buyers across Warwickshire & the West Midlands often manage haulage and carrier contracts as a major category.
The people who source, negotiate and manage the contracts.
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.
For a new or growing procurement function we can recruit the manager and the buyers together.
Indicative permanent salaries in Coventry run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
Candidates weigh salary alongside bonus, hybrid working, pension and the size of the spend they will own. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Spend, savings, negotiations, systems and right to work checked before the first interview.
We ask referees about savings delivered and supplier relationships, not just dates of employment.
We help agree the package and manage the notice period through to the start date.
A buyer who remembers the last tender knows where the supplier has room to move.
Many heads of procurement began as buyers. We recruit at every stage of that career.
