Permanent procurement and buying recruitment across London & the South East.
A buyer who can negotiate but not manage suppliers wins the contract and loses the relationship. We test for both.
Procurement vacancies across London & the South East come from last-mile and parcel carriers, grocery and e-commerce fulfilment, airfreight forwarders and national 3PLs. Each needs buyers who can balance price, service and risk.
Procurement offers compete with retailers, manufacturers and the public sector. We help pitch salary, bonus and flexibility so the first offer is accepted.
Procurement roles across London & the South East buy for operations at sites such as the Thames Gateway parks and the M25 orbital estates.
From junior buyers to procurement directors.
Where the role asks for a professional procurement qualification such as CIPS, we confirm it before the shortlist.
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 Stratford run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
The package matters as much as the salary: bonus, flexibility and how much the business values procurement. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
Most good buyers are approached, not found on job boards.
A small number of candidates, each with notes on categories, spend and results.
We ask referees about savings delivered and supplier relationships, not just dates of employment.
A buyer who remembers the last tender knows where the supplier has room to move.
Procurement notice periods can be long, so the timeline is planned from the first conversation.
