We recruit procurement and purchasing people for Otley and Yorkshire & the Humber, screened on the spend they have managed and the savings they can evidence.
The strongest buyers are rarely job hunting. They are usually in the middle of a tender somewhere else.
Procurement vacancies across Yorkshire come from retail and grocery distribution, rail-linked intermodal operators, manufacturing supply chains and regional 3PLs. Each needs buyers who can balance price, service and risk.
If buying talent is scarce around Otley, we search a wider commute and look at hybrid working before we lower the bar on skill.
Procurement roles across Yorkshire buy for operations at sites such as iPort Doncaster, Wakefield Europort and the distribution parks along the M62 and M1.
Permanent procurement roles, from purchasing assistants to heads of procurement.
We ask candidates how their savings were measured and signed off before we put them forward.
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 Otley run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
Our pay advice comes from current offers for comparable buying roles. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Categories, spend, suppliers, systems and the result the new buyer needs to deliver.
We identify the buyers doing similar work across a realistic commute.
Most good buyers are approached, not found on job boards.
