Procurement Recruitment in Mitcham

Permanent procurement and buying recruitment across London & the South East.

London & the South East

Buyers and category managers in Mitcham

Good procurement protects margin quietly, one contract at a time. That is what we recruit for.

Across London & the South East, much of the buying supports operations at sites such as the London Gateway and Tilbury corridors and the north London depots. We search for buyers who already know that supplier market.

If buying talent is scarce around Mitcham, we search a wider commute and look at hybrid working before we lower the bar on skill.

Across London & the South East, buyers and category managers are hired by urban fulfilment and last-mile operators, grocery and convenience distribution, airfreight handlers and metropolitan 3PLs.

A strong procurement brief covers:

  • Annual spend under management
  • Savings and supplier performance targets
  • Who the role reports to and who reports to it
