Procurement Recruitment in Shrewsbury

Procurement recruitment for Shrewsbury employers buying freight, warehousing, fleet, fuel and packaging, where every renewal counts.

West Midlands

Purchasing and sourcing hiring across Shrewsbury

Every procurement candidate we put forward is screened on the spend they managed and the savings they evidenced.

Shrewsbury sits in the West Midlands, at the heart of the UK 'Golden Triangle'. We recruit the buyers and category managers who keep those operations supplied.

If buying talent is scarce around Shrewsbury, we search a wider commute and look at hybrid working before we lower the bar on skill.

Across the West Midlands, buyers and category managers are hired by automotive and manufacturing supply chains, national 3PLs and retail distribution centres.

The roles we cover

Permanent roles on the procurement desk

Procurement roles for retail, manufacturing, 3PL and public sector supply chains.

Why a specialist desk

Built around spend and suppliers

Categories matched

Freight, warehousing, fleet, fuel, packaging or materials handling: we match buyers to the categories you buy.

Supplier management

Winning a contract is half the job. We look for buyers who manage suppliers well after the signature.

Procurement teams built

For a new or growing procurement function we can recruit the manager and the buyers together.

Salaries in the area

What buyers and procurement managers earn in Shrewsbury

Indicative permanent salaries in Shrewsbury run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.

How it works

Commercial screen

Spend, savings, negotiations, systems and right to work checked before the first interview.

Your brief

Your hiring brief

An empty buying seat costs money: contracts roll over unchallenged and suppliers set the terms.

If a procurement role is hard to fill, we find out whether pay, scope or reporting line is the cause and tell you plainly.

A strong procurement brief covers:

  • The main suppliers and contract renewal dates
  • The procurement and ERP systems in use
  • Savings and supplier performance targets
  • Your interview process and any presentation
