Procurement Recruitment in Eastbourne

Procurement recruitment for Eastbourne employers buying freight, warehousing, fleet, fuel and packaging, where every renewal counts.

South East

Purchasing and sourcing hiring across Eastbourne

Every procurement candidate we put forward is screened on the spend they managed and the savings they evidenced.

Operations across the South East rely on the M25, M3, M4, M20 and M23, Gatwick Airport and the ports at Southampton, Portsmouth and Dover. Buyers who understand those routes negotiate freight and warehousing contracts from a stronger position.

Procurement offers compete with retailers, manufacturers and the public sector. We help pitch salary, bonus and flexibility so the first offer is accepted.

Across the South East, buyers and category managers are hired by retail and grocery distribution, port and Channel logistics, aerospace and FMCG supply chains and regional 3PLs.

How it works

Our recruitment process

The brief

A small number of candidates, each with notes on categories, spend and results.

Offer and notice

Your brief

Your hiring brief

Interim buyers are useful for a single project. Ongoing categories need someone who will still be there at the next renewal.

Strong buyers value a seat in commercial decisions, good spend data and a manager who backs their negotiations.

A strong procurement brief covers:

  • The categories the role will buy
  • Annual spend under management
  • The main suppliers and contract renewal dates
  • Your interview process and any presentation
