Permanent procurement and buying recruitment across the East of England.
Good procurement protects margin quietly, one contract at a time. That is what we recruit for.
Procurement vacancies across the East of England come from container and forwarding operators, agri-food and cold-chain distribution, e-commerce fulfilment and regional 3PLs. Each needs buyers who can balance price, service and risk.
Direct buying, indirect procurement, category management and contract management call for different people. The search is shaped to the role.
Businesses operating from sites such as the Port of Felixstowe and the A14 corridor, Stansted and the parks along the A1 and M11 compete for experienced buyers, which keeps salaries competitive.
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 Harlow run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
An offer pitched at the market is accepted faster. Ask us for a current read on procurement pay before the role is advertised. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Categories, spend, suppliers, systems and the result the new buyer needs to deliver.
We identify the buyers doing similar work across a realistic commute.
We arrange interviews and any negotiation exercise or presentation, then brief each candidate.
Supplier relationships improve with continuity. Changing buyers often resets them.
Many heads of procurement began as buyers. We recruit at every stage of that career.
