Permanent buyers, category managers and procurement leaders for businesses in Kirkby, recruited for the value they add to every contract.
Procurement is judged on savings, supplier performance and risk. We recruit buyers who can show all three.
Across the North West, much of the buying supports operations at sites such as the Trafford Park and Salford estates and the Manchester Ship Canal. We search for buyers who already know that supplier market.
Direct buying, indirect procurement, category management and contract management call for different people. The search is shaped to the role.
The strongest procurement candidates across the North West are usually already buying for businesses such as grocery and retail distribution, 3PLs, port and container logistics and air and sea forwarders.
Permanent procurement roles matched to categories, spend and seniority.
We ask candidates how their savings were measured and signed off before we put them forward.
Winning a contract is half the job. We look for buyers who manage suppliers well after the signature.
For a new or growing procurement function we can recruit the manager and the buyers together.
Indicative permanent salaries in Kirkby run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
Procurement pay in the North West moves with seniority, spend and scope: category managers and heads of procurement earn well above buyers. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Categories, spend, suppliers, systems and the result the new buyer needs to deliver.
A small number of candidates, each with notes on categories, spend and results.
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.
We describe the spend data and systems as they really are, so nobody is surprised in month one.
