Hiring a category manager in Redruth? We test the negotiation record and the supplier management, because the role needs both.
A permanent buyer should leave the supplier base stronger than they found it.
Operations at sites such as Falmouth docks and the far-west distribution depots depend on suppliers that deliver. We match buyers to the categories that keep them running.
A buyer who leaves mid-tender takes the negotiation history and the supplier relationships with them.
With the A30, the A38, the A390, the M5 as far as Exeter and the ports at Plymouth and Falmouth carrying the region's freight, buyers across Devon & Cornwall often manage haulage and carrier contracts as a major category.
The people who source, negotiate and manage the contracts.
We check salary, bonus and hybrid terms against current procurement offers before the role goes out.
We look for buyers who weigh service and risk as carefully as price.
For a new or growing procurement function we can recruit the manager and the buyers together.
Indicative permanent salaries in Redruth 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.
Spend, savings, negotiations, systems and right to work checked before the first interview.
We ask referees about savings delivered and supplier relationships, not just dates of employment.
We help agree the package and manage the notice period through to the start date.
For Redruth businesses with major contracts up for renewal, the right permanent buyer can pay for the role in one negotiation.
If a procurement role is hard to fill, we find out whether pay, scope or reporting line is the cause and tell you plainly.
