The sourcing, contract and supplier people who keep Islington operations supplied at the right price.
A permanent buyer should leave the supplier base stronger than they found it.
Operations at sites such as the Thames Gateway parks and the M25 orbital estates depend on suppliers that deliver. We match buyers to the categories that keep them running.
A buyer who leaves mid-tender takes the negotiation history and the supplier relationships with them.
Procurement demand across London & the South East follows urban fulfilment and last-mile operators, grocery and convenience distribution, airfreight handlers and metropolitan 3PLs.
Permanent procurement roles, from purchasing assistants to heads of procurement.
Winning a contract is half the job. We look for buyers who manage suppliers well after the signature.
Where the role asks for a professional procurement qualification such as CIPS, we confirm it before the shortlist.
We look for buyers who weigh service and risk as carefully as price.
Indicative permanent salaries in Islington run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
The package matters as much as the salary: bonus, flexibility and how much the business values procurement. 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 help agree the package and manage the notice period through to the start date.
Supplier relationships improve with continuity. Changing buyers often resets them.
We ask candidates what made them leave their last procurement role. It tells us whether yours will keep them.
