Permanent buyers, category managers and procurement leaders for businesses in Redbridge, recruited for the value they add to every contract.
A permanent buyer should leave the supplier base stronger than they found it.
Procurement employers across London & the South East include last-mile and parcel carriers, grocery and e-commerce fulfilment, airfreight forwarders and national 3PLs. Each buys differently, so we recruit to the categories rather than the job title.
If buying talent is scarce around Redbridge, we search a wider commute and look at hybrid working before we lower the bar on skill.
With the M25 orbital, the A13 and A406, Heathrow Airport and the deep-water ports at London Gateway and Tilbury carrying the region's freight, buyers across London & the South East often manage haulage and carrier contracts as a major category.
The people who source, negotiate and manage the contracts.
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 Redbridge run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
Procurement pay in London & the South East moves with seniority, spend and scope: category managers and heads of procurement earn well above buyers. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Categories, spend, suppliers, systems and the result the new buyer needs to deliver.
We arrange interviews and any negotiation exercise or presentation, then brief each candidate.
We help agree the package and manage the notice period through to the start date.
Interim buyers are useful for a single project. Ongoing categories need someone who will still be there at the next renewal.
If a procurement role is hard to fill, we find out whether pay, scope or reporting line is the cause and tell you plainly.
