Permanent buyers, category managers and procurement leaders for businesses in Liverpool, recruited for the value they add to every contract.
A buyer who can negotiate but not manage suppliers wins the contract and loses the relationship. We test for both.
Liverpool's port and the deep-water Liverpool2 terminal make Merseyside a major gateway for transatlantic and Irish Sea container traffic — and a fast-growing base for forwarding and warehousing. We recruit the buyers and category managers who keep those operations supplied.
Renewing a major freight or warehousing contract soon? A buyer who has run that tender before is worth finding early.
The strongest procurement candidates across Merseyside are usually already buying for businesses such as retail and grocery DCs, national 3PLs, e-commerce fulfilment and port and container logistics.
Procurement roles for retail, manufacturing, 3PL and public sector supply chains.
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 stay in contact while the new buyer meets the suppliers and takes over the contracts.
Indicative permanent salaries in Liverpool 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.
Most good buyers are approached, not found on job boards.
Spend, savings, negotiations, systems and right to work checked before the first interview.
We ask referees about savings delivered and supplier relationships, not just dates of employment.
An empty buying seat costs money: contracts roll over unchallenged and suppliers set the terms.
If a procurement role is hard to fill, we find out whether pay, scope or reporting line is the cause and tell you plainly.
