The sourcing, contract and supplier people who keep Kenilworth operations supplied at the right price.
The strongest buyers are rarely job hunting. They are usually in the middle of a tender somewhere else.
Across the West Midlands, much of the buying supports operations at sites such as Hams Hall, Birch Coppice, the i54 and the rail-freight terminals around Birmingham. We search for buyers who already know that supplier market.
Renewing a major freight or warehousing contract soon? A buyer who has run that tender before is worth finding early.
Across the West Midlands, buyers and category managers are hired by national 3PLs, automotive and manufacturing supply chains and large retail distribution centres.
Buying, category, sourcing and contract roles.
We ask for a real negotiation, what was at stake and what the candidate gave away to win it.
We look for buyers who weigh service and risk as carefully as price.
We stay in contact while the new buyer meets the suppliers and takes over the contracts.
Indicative permanent salaries in Kenilworth run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
Procurement pay in the West Midlands moves with seniority, spend and scope: category managers and heads of procurement earn well above buyers. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
We arrange interviews and any negotiation exercise or presentation, then brief each candidate.
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.
If a procurement role is hard to fill, we find out whether pay, scope or reporting line is the cause and tell you plainly.
