Procurement recruitment for Ely employers buying freight, warehousing, fleet, fuel and packaging, where every renewal counts.
We look for buyers who know your categories: haulage, warehousing, fleet, fuel, packaging or materials handling equipment.
Procurement employers across the East of England include port and container logistics, customs and forwarding businesses, FMCG and agri-food supply chains and national 3PLs. Each buys differently, so we recruit to the categories rather than the job title.
Direct buying, indirect procurement, category management and contract management call for different people. The search is shaped to the role.
Experienced buyers supporting sites such as the Haven ports and the A14 corridor parks are usually approached directly rather than through adverts.
Permanent procurement roles matched to categories, spend and seniority.
We ask for a real negotiation, what was at stake and what the candidate gave away to win it.
For a new or growing procurement function we can recruit the manager and the buyers together.
We stay in contact while the new buyer meets the suppliers and takes over the contracts.
Indicative permanent salaries in Ely 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.
Spend, savings, negotiations, systems and right to work checked before the first interview.
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.
Procurement notice periods can be long, so the timeline is planned from the first conversation.
