Procurement recruitment for Tower Hamlets employers buying freight, warehousing, fleet, fuel and packaging, where every renewal counts.
The strongest buyers are rarely job hunting. They are usually in the middle of a tender somewhere else.
Tower Hamlets sits inside the UK's largest and most pressured logistics labour market, where last-mile, airfreight and grocery fulfilment compete hard for the same people. Across London & the South East, procurement teams buy for operations at sites such as Park Royal, the Thames Gateway, London Gateway and the distribution parks ringing the M25.
Direct buying, indirect procurement, category management and contract management call for different people. The search is shaped to the role.
The strongest procurement candidates across London & the South East are usually already buying for businesses such as e-commerce and grocery fulfilment operations, parcel and last-mile carriers, airfreight forwarders and retail distribution centres.
Permanent procurement roles matched to categories, spend and seniority.
We ask candidates how their savings were measured and signed off before we put them forward.
Freight, warehousing, fleet, fuel, packaging or materials handling: we match buyers to the categories you buy.
Winning a contract is half the job. We look for buyers who manage suppliers well after the signature.
Indicative permanent salaries in Tower Hamlets run from around £30k for buyers up to £80k+ for heads of procurement.
Candidates weigh salary alongside bonus, hybrid working, pension and the size of the spend they will own. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.
We arrange interviews and any negotiation exercise or presentation, then brief each candidate.
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.
An empty buying seat costs money: contracts roll over unchallenged and suppliers set the terms.
We describe the spend data and systems as they really are, so nobody is surprised in month one.
