Commercial Buying Manager, Pharmaceutical Wholesale Wholesale Pharmaceutical Distribution, Margin, Rebate and Availability, Twice a Day, Every Day Category Management and Commercial Buying Leadership with a Wholesaler and Distributor Hertfordshire, on site 5 days a week 85,000 to 100,000 plus a performance-related annual bonus linked to company EBITDA, and a strong benefits package In wholesale distribution, the numbers that matter are unforgiving and immediate: net cost price, rebate income, and whether the right stock is sitting on the van for the next delivery run, twice a day, every day. If that is the language you already think in, and you have led a category or commercial buying team who move at that pace, this is worth a proper look. A well-established pharmaceutical wholesaler, built over more than four decades by a family of pharmacists who understood the pressures of retail pharmacy from the inside, and now run by its second generation, is deliberately moving from a family-run business into a genuinely professional, commercially sharp operation. It needs a category and commercial leader to take its procurement function from good to excellent. A year ago, this business brought in outside expertise for the first time and built a category buying team from the ground up, three groups covering generics, parallel imports and over the counter medicines, each with its own specialist lead, supported by buyers at various stages of development. That work has been done well. What the business needs now is a leader who can pick up that structure, develop the people in it, and turn good foundations into a genuinely commercial, margin-literate function that owns its numbers, cost price, rebate income, inventory availability, as personal measures of success rather than someone else's targets. You will inherit a live transformation already under way: this business has spent the last year moving from an opportunistic buy to stock instinct to a disciplined buy to sell model, only committing to stock once a customer and a route to market are confirmed, and it needs someone who can finish embedding that thinking properly across the team, including realistic lead time and minimum order quantity planning for stock arriving from across the UK, Europe and the Far East, while keeping availability tight enough to support twice-daily deliveries to independent pharmacies, wholesalers, hospitals and a wide range of other outlets. You will report directly to the business's commercial and procurement lead, whose own background is in sales, commercial negotiation and wholesale, not classic procurement, and whose time is currently spread thinly across procurement, wholesale and sales. He needs someone he can trust to run this function day to day with real authority. That trust will not be handed over automatically. This is a business built by analytically minded, detail-driven people who expect evidence and a clear business case behind every proposed change, and who move fast, sometimes making decisions the same day, once they believe in the person putting the case forward. The right person will know how to earn that trust quickly: understanding the detail of how the team currently works before changing anything, building credibility through good commercial judgement rather than urgency, and then using the genuine autonomy on offer to make a real difference. This is a category management and commercial buying leadership role within a wholesaler and distributor, not a generic corporate procurement or purchasing appointment. You will likely have led a commercial, sales, category management or buying team before, ideally somewhere that lives and breathes cost price, rebate and inventory discipline the way pharmaceutical wholesale, healthcare distribution or FMCG grocery wholesale does. Equally, and just as strongly, if your background is commercial finance or FP&A and you have partnered closely with procurement while leading or heavily influencing a team of your own, you should read on, this route in is genuinely valued here, not a fallback. What matters most is commercial astuteness, a real feel for margin and rebate, and the personal credibility to negotiate well yourself, since part of the job is teaching that same instinct to a team still building it, together with the ability to lead people through change without losing them. Recent experience with a modern ERP platform such as Microsoft Dynamics Business Central would be a genuine advantage in a business that has recently implemented it and is still bedding it in. In return, you join a business that is genuinely investing in getting this right, with a strong, comprehensive package, real autonomy for someone who earns it, and the rare chance to shape a function at exactly the point it is ready to grow up.

Buyer: Consumer Products Andover Hybrid 55,000 + 15% bonus + Excellent benefits 9 month FTC Potential longer term opportunity Are you a commercially sharp Buyer who knows how to get the best from suppliers, negotiate a great deal and spot an opportunity to grow a category? ReQuire Consultancy is partnering with an established and highly successful organisation to recruit an experienced Buyer into its commercial purchasing team. Initially offered as a 9-month fixed-term contract, this is a substantial buying role with real ownership. You'll inherit an established product category and supplier base, but importantly, you'll also have the freedom to challenge, negotiate, analyse and identify where further commercial opportunities exist. Previous experience within the client's sector would naturally be advantageous, but it isn't essential. We're much more interested in finding someone who understands buying, can demonstrate strong commercial instincts and has successfully managed supplier relationships and product categories. The role You'll take ownership of the purchasing relationship with your suppliers, negotiating commercial terms and ensuring the product range remains competitive, relevant and commercially successful. The formal brief includes responsibility for trading terms, ranging, pricing, forecasting, stock performance and promotional activity. You'll be looking at the numbers, understanding what's selling, monitoring the wider market and working with suppliers to identify opportunities to improve performance. This will include: Managing and developing key supplier relationships Negotiating pricing, trading terms and commercial agreements Reviewing and developing product ranges Forecasting and planning stock requirements Managing promotional activity and supplier opportunities Monitoring competitor activity and market pricing Using data to support buying and commercial decisions Identifying new products, suppliers and opportunities for growth Working collaboratively across purchasing, commercial and operational teams About you We're looking for an established Buyer, Category Buyer, Senior Buyer or commercially focused Product/Category Manager who can demonstrate genuine ownership of suppliers and commercial decisions. You'll be comfortable negotiating, working with data and understanding the relationship between price, margin, stock, availability and customer demand. You'll probably have worked within a product-led retail, wholesale, distribution or consumer environment, although we're deliberately keeping the sector background open. What matters is that you've bought products rather than simply processed purchasing, can hold your own in supplier negotiations and enjoy finding ways to improve commercial performance. Strong Excel skills and the ability to analyse and present information will also be important; the original specification specifically calls for advanced Excel alongside strong analytical and presentation capability. The opportunity This is a great chance to join a well-established organisation with a sizeable purchasing operation and take responsibility for a meaningful product category. Yes it is an initial 9-month FTC, there is the potential for the opportunity to develop beyond the initial contract. 55,000 (c) + 15% bonus Excellent benefits package Hybrid working Fantastic culture If you're an experienced Buyer who enjoys the commercial side of the job suppliers, negotiation, products, numbers and ultimately getting the right deal, we'd be keen to hear from you. Contact Liam McConnell today for a confidential conversation.
