Head of Purchasing

With 20 years in electronics recruitment, I've seen the distinct roles of tactical and strategic purchasing evolve firsthand. Here are my top 5 observations for excelling in both: 🛒 Tactical purchasing is all about the now. It focuses on the day-to-day operations, managing orders and ensuring the supply chain runs smoothly. Quick decision-making skills and attention to detail are pivotal. ♟️ Strategic purchasing, on the other hand, is a longer game. It's about building relationships, negotiating contracts, and forecasting. You've got to be a visionary planner with solid industry knowledge. 🤝 For both, relationship-building is key. Whether it's suppliers or internal teams, the ability to communicate and collaborate makes all the difference. You'll want to be personable and persuasive. 💡 Adaptability across these roles cannot be overstated. The tech landscape shifts rapidly; being someone who thrives on change and continuous learning will set you apart. 🔍 And, critically, both roles require a knack for analysis. Interpreting data to make informed decisions is a shared cornerstone. A strategic mind with an eye for detail is your golden ticket. Whether you're more inclined towards the on-the-ground action of tactical purchasing or the big-picture strategizing, what's clear is that a combination of sharp analysis, relationship finesse, and adaptability is what leads to success in the thriving UK electronics scene.

Is Purchasing ruining Procurement's reputation? I read an interesting post on Reddit from a young professional who recently shared their disappointment with their procurement role, describing it as 'incredibly boring' and 'repetitive.' This raises an important question about the language we use internally. Are we dressing up transactional roles in strategic clothing? Procurement and Purchasing are often used interchangeably, but they couldn't be more different. Procurement is like playing chess—strategic, proactive, and focused on building long-term supplier relationships and maximising product value. In contrast, purchasing is more like a game of connect4, focusing on the immediate win, price, and supplier efficiency and can become repetitive. This distinction really matters. When we confuse Purchasing with Procurement, we set false expectations. We attract strategic thinkers to roles that require them to be transactional. The outcome? Frustration, boredom and disillusionment. Do you believe our stakeholders understand the distinct difference between Purchasing and Procurement? #procurement #purchasing #transactional
