From purchasing assistants to heads of procurement, we find permanent buyers in Ottery St Mary who negotiate well and manage suppliers better.
Every procurement candidate we put forward is screened on the spend they managed and the savings they evidenced.
Procurement employers across Devon & Cornwall include food and drink and agri-food processing, marine and port logistics, tourism-driven retail distribution and regional hauliers. Each buys differently, so we recruit to the categories rather than the job title.
A buyer who leaves mid-tender takes the negotiation history and the supplier relationships with them.
Procurement roles across Devon & Cornwall buy for operations at sites such as the Cornwall A30 corridor and the Pool, Redruth and St Austell estates.
From junior buyers to procurement directors.
We check salary, bonus and hybrid terms against current procurement offers before the role goes out.
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 Ottery St Mary run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
Candidates weigh salary alongside bonus, hybrid working, pension and the size of the spend they will own. 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 help agree the package and manage the notice period through to the start date.
For Ottery St Mary businesses with major contracts up for renewal, the right permanent buyer can pay for the role in one negotiation.
Procurement notice periods can be long, so the timeline is planned from the first conversation.
