Permanent buyers, category managers and procurement leaders for businesses in Merthyr Tydfil, recruited for the value they add to every contract.
Every procurement candidate we put forward is screened on the spend they managed and the savings they evidenced.
Procurement employers across Wales include port and steel logistics, automotive and manufacturing supply chains, retail distribution and regional 3PLs. Each buys differently, so we recruit to the categories rather than the job title.
If buying talent is scarce around Merthyr Tydfil, we search a wider commute and look at hybrid working before we lower the bar on skill.
Experienced buyers supporting sites such as the M4 corridor parks and the Cardiff and Newport docks are usually approached directly rather than through adverts.
Permanent procurement roles matched to categories, spend and seniority.
We ask for a real negotiation, what was at stake and what the candidate gave away to win it.
For a new or growing procurement function we can recruit the manager and the buyers together.
We stay in contact while the new buyer meets the suppliers and takes over the contracts.
Indicative permanent salaries in Merthyr Tydfil run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
If the offer looks light against the procurement market, we say so before interviews are arranged. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
We identify the buyers doing similar work across a realistic commute.
Most good buyers are approached, not found on job boards.
We arrange interviews and any negotiation exercise or presentation, then brief each candidate.
Interim buyers are useful for a single project. Ongoing categories need someone who will still be there at the next renewal.
Strong buyers value a seat in commercial decisions, good spend data and a manager who backs their negotiations.
