周末花了两天时间,把所有联系过的客户(合作的以及暂时还没合作的)的邮件署名职位名做了一通记录和梳理,看了近千个邮件署名,眼睛都看花了!我做了简单统计记录,不做不知道,让我相当意外的是,各种采购相关的职位名称竟然有 50 多种之多!!
跟我讨论过采购事宜的各类人物
- Purchasing
- Purchasing/Supply Chain
- Purchasing/Imports Specialist
- Purchasing Assistant
- Manager Purchasing/Operations
- Buyer
- Senior Buyer
- Executive Buyer
- Technical Buyer
- Category Buyer
- Buyer/Planner
- Global Marketing & Managing Director
- Executive Manager
- Purchasing Agent
- Senior Purchasing Agent
- Purchasing Executive
- Purchase Coordinator
- Purchasing Manager(xx Items)
- Supply/Procurement Manager
- Procurement officer
- Procurement Manager
- Procurement Director
- Sourcing Assistant
- Sourcing Manager
- Sourcing Specialist
- Purchasing & Sourcing Specialist
- Category Sourcing Manager
- Global Marketing & Managing Director
- GM (General Manager)
- CEO
- Owner
- Manager
- Sales Manager
- Business Manager
- Procurement Operations Manager
- Vendor Manager - Procurement
- Procurement Business Partner
- Procurement Strategy & Planning Manager
- Supplier Relationship Manager
- Procurement Specialist
- Procurement Director
- Procurement Administrator
- Supply Chain Manager
- Senior Supply Chain Manager
- Inventory & Purchasing Manager
- Import Dept. Logistics Officer
- Executive Manager
- Sales Manager
- Assistant Manager
- Chief Procurement Officer (CFO)
- Partner & Executive Manager
- Director of Procurement
- Buyer/Logistics Specialist
- Senior Manager of Global Procurement
- Chairman of the Board of Directors
- Executive Director of Procurement & Strategic Sourcing
以上各类客户中,大家最常见的应该是:
- Purchasing/Purchasing Manager
- Buyer
- Procurement Manager
名头最唬人的应该是这两个:
- Chief Procurement Officer (CFO) 首席采购官
- Executive Director of Procurement & Strategic Sourcing
前者很有意思,因为 Chief Financial Officer 的缩写也是 CFO;后者来自某个品牌商,名头很唬:“战略采购执行总监”,也没有打过深入的交道,只有过一两封邮件的联系。
这 50 多种形形色色的职位头衔名称,其实有很大一部分职位的工作主要负责内容和职责是有明显交集的。有些名头也是根据公司规模组织架构,公司人事部门设定以及具体到部门人员对职位名称的偏好来决定的。
比如,有些公司职位分得比较细,比如 Buyer 和 Planner 是分开的作为一个采购团队的两种不同职位,而有些公司则并不分得那么清楚,这一点从客户署名的职位名称 Buyer/Planner 写在一起即可看出来。
有些公司的采购梯队是
Procurement Assistant -> Procurement Specialist -> Procurement Manager -> Procurement Director
有些则是
Assistant Buyer/Purchasing Assistant -> Buyer/Purchasing -> Senior Buyer/... -> Purchasing Manager/Director
有别于英语头衔,由于我也开发很多西语市场客户,所以以下西语客户的头衔也很常见:
- Gerente General
- Compras
- Gerente de Compras
- Gerente de Logística y Abastecimiento
还有一些别的头衔的客人也参与到样品和订单到具体沟通细节中来过,比如:
- Product Develop Manager
- Product Management Manager
- Operations Manager
- Logistics Manager
- Procurement Analyst
- ……
不同的行业又会牵涉出更多的人员,如一些机电行业则可能会有技术/工程/设计类人,如:
- Technical Manager
- Engineer
- Design
- Brand Planner
- ……
还有不少客户,邮件签名中里并不表露自己的职位,仅仅留下姓名,有时候最多注明个部门。这里面原因有很多种,有些明明是老板但就是低调得很不写职位,也有些是性格使然或者自信,还有些是因为职位写了还不如不写,比如 xxx assistant 之类,还有其他可能的原因,这里我们就不去探究了。
Ok, 细数了这么多跟采购相关的联系人,大家各自的客户都是什么各式各样的头衔呢?

sam,请问写开发信给 CEO 有用吗,从没见 CEO 回复过
@Roy 我肯定的告诉你 有用
之前搜采购,今天在整理名片,也在为这个问题苦恼。看到的太及时了。
料大,我想开发你做为客户啊,哈哈~前几天碰到一个朋友,在江苏开了一家专门生产无纺布的工厂,占地 120 亩,生产的无纺布主要就是针对卫生安全这一块的,口罩啦,尿布啦等等。感兴趣的话,可以详聊噢
还是很感谢你提供信息!谢谢!
@Liaosam 噢~你的意思是,你们自己不生产无纺布制品?所以用不到原材料是吧,我以为你现在自己也设有工厂呢。感谢你的回复
