Permanent buyers, category managers and procurement leaders for businesses in Oxford, recruited for the value they add to every contract.
We look for buyers who know your categories: haulage, warehousing, fleet, fuel, packaging or materials handling equipment.
Oxford draws on the South East's deep logistics labour market, strung along the motorway corridors that feed London and the coast. Across the South East, procurement teams buy for operations at sites such as the Dartford and Thames-side parks and the M20 route to the Channel.
A buyer who leaves mid-tender takes the negotiation history and the supplier relationships with them.
The strongest procurement candidates across the South East are usually already buying for businesses such as retail and grocery distribution, port and Channel logistics, aerospace and FMCG supply chains and regional 3PLs.
Procurement roles for retail, manufacturing, 3PL and public sector supply chains.
We ask candidates how their savings were measured and signed off before we put them forward.
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.
Indicative permanent salaries in Oxford 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.
Categories, spend, suppliers, systems and the result the new buyer needs to deliver.
We identify the buyers doing similar work across a realistic commute.
We help agree the package and manage the notice period through to the start date.
A buyer who remembers the last tender knows where the supplier has room to move.
Many heads of procurement began as buyers. We recruit at every stage of that career.
